Plans for a six-story commercial building at a prominent
gateway to South Bethlehem got a step closer to reality after the project was
approved this week by the South Bethlehem Historic Conservation Commission.
Greenway Park, which includes an attached parking deck,
would be built on a vacant lot at the corner of Third and New streets. This
month, St. Luke’s University Health Network and Lehigh University announced
their intention to be the anchor tenants of the 125,000-square-foot structure.
Developer Dennis Benner said he will submit the land
development plan to city council for approval and hopes to begin construction
in March.
St. Luke’s will have a floor of clinical, teaching and
administrative space, while Lehigh University will move 140 employees in its
office of advancement to the building.
Including the parking deck, the project is expected to
cost more than $35 million.
CBRE Inc., which has an office in Fogelsville, is leasing
space in Greenway Park.
Howard Kulp of Howard Kulp Architects in Allentown
designed the project.
