High-end apartments slated for former Carlisle Tire & Wheel

August is the expected completion date for the $1.6 million redevelopment of a former Carlisle Tire & Wheel property on North College Street in Carlisle, according to the project's developer, Wheelhouse Properties LLC.

The project will feature 16 high-end apartments that will be a mix of one- and two-bedroom units with full-length windows. Rental prices are still being finalized.

The developers are marketing 8,000 square feet on the first floor of the 20,000-square-foot, three-story building for a commercial tenant. Initial ideas for the space include a restaurant, brewery, retail or an events space, but the owners are open to suggestions.

"With all the exposed brick, large windows and our open adjacent parking lot, the first floor offers tons of potential for all kinds of prospective tenants," said Amanda Garner, a partner in Carlisle-based Wheelhouse Properties.

Her husband's company, Creative Building Concepts & Property Management LLC, which is part of the Wheelhouse ownership team, is serving as general contractor on the redevelopment project.

Wheelhouse bought the property last year and began demolition. Construction has accelerated over the past two months, Garner said.

Cumberland Area Economic Development Corp. provided a $158,000 loan through its Cumberland Revolving Energy Loan Fund to assist with energy-efficiency upgrades that are part of the retrofit.
