A $56.5 million redevelopment project including significant retail, office and student housing space is planned for Bethlehem’s South Side business district.
Developer Dennis Benner today revealed plans for a 13-story student housing and retail complex on the first block of West Fourth Street and a seven-story office and retail complex a block north at West Third and South New streets.
Construction on the project, which includes a 507-space parking garage, is scheduled to start in the second quarter of next year and take 24 months.
