KRE Acquisition Corp. is redeveloping a vacant former industrial site at 401 and 433 Washington Street along the Schuylkill River. The site is about 10.7 acres. Most of it is in Conshohocken, and part extends into Whitemarsh Township. The revised plan has 481 homes: 200 condominiums in four buildings facing Washington Street and 281 apartments in two buildings along the riverfront.
The site now holds a vacant industrial building, an old foundation, and parking and storage areas. Local news reported that the plan used to call for 598 apartments, under a settlement agreement from about a decade ago. KRE cut the number after judging that too many units would be too much for the market. A homebuilder is reported to be handling the condominiums. Building heights and a river trail stay as previously approved. Site clearing was reported under way in early 2024. No opposition was reported.
What it could mean nearby
- Fewer homes than the earlier 598-apartment plan, and fewer bedrooms (690 instead of 804), which may mean less demand on traffic and services.
- A river trail is part of the approved plan, which could add public riverfront access.
- Replaces a vacant industrial site with housing along the Schuylkill River.
- Adds owner-occupied condominiums as well as rentals.
Where it stands
The borough council approved the revised unit mix as an amendment to the older settlement agreement in March 2024, and site clearing had begun. Next steps usually involve construction permits, building, and any remaining approvals such as sign packages.
- Mar 20, 2024 Conshohocken Borough Council voted 7-0 to approve the amendment cutting the plan to 481 homes with condos and apartments
- Mar 6, 2024 KRE presented the revised plan to Conshohocken Borough Council
- Jan 8, 2024 Latest county filing for the project
