Premier Attraction Now Open
What was once an empty and depressing corner at Schuylkill and Rapps Dam Road, has now been transformed into a premier hot spot for Phoenixville! Development Company, Longview Property Group, has a reputation for improving the neighborhoods they operate in by transforming undesirable sites into convenient and exciting attractions for the local community to enjoy. “We have been excited about this project from our very first visit to the site. We could immediately see the project’s full potential and Longview’s vision, and knew that it would be a huge success” explains Jessica Scully, President of Scully Company.
Scully Company is handling the residential property management Longview’s newest venture, “Westside Apartments and Shopping” brings every convenience one could desire to the doorstep of the lucky folks residing in their apartment homes. On location shops include Rebel Hill Brewery and outdoor beer garden, Dunkin Donuts, Pet Valu, farm to table BYOB restaurant Morell Park, and Tre Nail Bar – just to name a few! From the on-site retail to the apartment community’s robust amenity package, residents do not have to go far to engage their social, fun, creative or outdoorsy sides. There’s something for every side of you at Westside!
There are 171 apartment homes planned to consist of studio, one and two bedrooms. The residential buildings convey a balance between traditional and industrial designs, utilizing bronze metal railings, brick and a neutral palette of gray and olive exterior finishes to complement the industrial history of downtown Phoenixville and adjacent residential neighborhoods. Resort-style amenities include a salt water pool, state of the art fitness experience and yoga room. There is plenty of space to enjoy a friendly game of billiards while entertaining guests in the clubhouse, unwind in the scenic green surroundings or enjoy some friendly conversation over coffee in the cafe. Walk over to Rebel Hill for some fine crafted beers or stop by the nail bar for a relaxing pedicure. With the world at your doorstep, the options are endless.
What sets the residential component of Westside apart from its competitors is the incorporation of local businesses and the project’s overall commitment to local authenticity. From the various apartment layouts named after local area farms, to the finishes selected and the retail tenants, every decision remains true to the Phoenixville roots. The clubhouse was furnished by the Phoenixville Furniture Market owned by native resident, Mike Holmes, the custom-made window treatments displayed in the amenity space were provided by the local owners of 3rdGenBlinds and the owner of the locally sourced farm to table restaurant in the shopping center also has a Phoenixville food truck that will operate on location for Westside residents from time to time – yet another resident perk! Even the cleaning of the community is provided by locally sourced company, The Natural Clean Queen. “Staying true to the local flavor is necessary for the preservation of the area” states Bill Andersen, President of Longview.
