Inquirer Spotlights King Street's 'Eastside Flats'

Malvern's East King Street revitalization project was the subject of a Philadelphia Inquirer article Monday.

The article looks at the development as something to break the "stagnation" of taxable property values in the borough, and as the possible start of a wave of "projects that emphasize urbanization over suburban sprawl."  

There were also some new numbers regarding the apartments:

Kahn expects to move tenants into the first of two apartment buildings on the King Street site in August. About 30 tenants have already signed on, he said, and both buildings will feature luxury amenities such as a swimming pool, fitness center, and movie room. Apartments will rent for about $1,180 a month, depending on size.

The article didn't mention the name of the apartment complex—Eastside Flats—and misidentified the organic grocer moving in as Whole Foods, instead of Kimberton Whole Foods.
