The developer proposes a six-story building at the northwest corner of Hill Avenue and Reading Avenue in Wyomissing Borough. It would hold 50 apartments plus about 8,800 square feet of shops or offices on the ground level. The site is about 4.5 acres. It would be split into two lots, and the new building would be the second phase of the existing Metropolitan apartment community at 1001 Hill Avenue.
The county's planning commission listed the project on its May 14, 2025 agenda for staff review. No news coverage, borough council decision, or public opposition was found. No tenants for the commercial space were found either.
