A company called J Cubed Real Estate, LLC has filed a preliminary plan with Berks County for a senior living community in Douglass Township. The plan calls for 120 congregate care units in three buildings on about 10.35 acres. Congregate care means older adults live in their own apartments and share services such as meals and common spaces.
The site is on the south side of Benjamin Franklin Highway (S.R. 2022) at Broadmoor Boulevard. The property is listed under a landowner name, and Mack Engineering is the firm on the filing. The county's latest filing is dated June 26, 2025.
No news coverage, township meeting records, hearing notices or developer webpage specific to this project were found. Details such as an operator, building heights, and any opposition or approvals are not known from public sources.
What it could mean nearby
- The 120 senior units would add housing for older adults along Benjamin Franklin Highway, a state-numbered road. Traffic and access effects would be reviewed during plan approval.
- Utility needs (water and sewer) and stormwater handling would have to be shown in later plan stages; no details were found.
Where it stands
A preliminary plan was filed with the county as of June 2025. No approval or decision was found in public sources. Next, the township would usually review the plan, with the planning commission making a recommendation and the supervisors voting. A final plan and permits follow.
