Allentown will soon welcome a $130 million addition to its skyline next to the PPL Center. The plan to build a 15-story office complex was unveiled Wednesday by the CEO of City Center Investment Corp., J.B. Reilly, according to The Morning Call.
The building, known as Five City Center, will cover the entire block of Walnut between Seventh and Eight streets. It will house Retail space, offices, upscale apartments, and a 800-space parking deck.
"We designed this to be toweresque, a real signature building for downtown Allentown. You'll be able to see it from MacArthur Road. In a lot of ways, it will provide a balance to the PPL Tower. Defining the skyline is critical in establishing Allentown as the center of the Lehigh Valley and the third largest city in the state," Reilly told The Morning Call.
City Center's website calls it the company's biggest project to date.
