STATE COLLEGE

Borough Council is considering a conditional use permit following a presentation proposing a development in the collegiate housing overlay district.

Currently dubbed the “Rise,” the 12-story development seeks to provide commercial and residential space along the southwest corner of the intersection of East College Avenue and High Street. The development would overtake the two properties located at 532 and 538 E. College Ave. — The Colony Apartments and Kildare’s Irish Pub respectively.

Chicago-based developers CA Ventures submitted the application to request a conditional use permit, senior planner Anne Messner said. The proposal meets overlay conditions, which allow for a maximum building height of 124 feet.

Conditions include its location within the 500 block of East College Avenue, no ground-floor residential use and minimum lot area, she said.

The first two floors will be non-residential use, Messner said, with the remaining floors as residential. Professional and graduate residents are anticipated as the occupants of the first two floors of residential, with multifamily housing for students and inclusionary housing units as the remainder.

According to CA documents, the project would host 182 units with a total of 616 beds.

Inclusionary housing and a sculpted roof allow for an additional 10 feet of building height each, she said, adding an additional floor and a parapet wall and bringing the overall proposed building height to 140 feet. Eighteen units would be set aside as inclusionary housing.

Density too... my dream is no more surface parking lots, on and off campus.

On the corner of High Street and College Avenue. It is going on the lot currently occupied by Kildare's which was recently sold to the developer after a zoning change on the lot.

12 floors, ground floor retail, and a pretty slick design.







Hopefully this will add a little life to that end of town which tends to be pretty bleak. At the very least it will provide a better gateway into town coming from the west.
