Letort Lofts is a proposed apartment community on a former industrial (brownfield) site at 759 Hamilton Street in Carlisle Borough. County records describe 56 garden-style apartments and townhouses, with parking, landscaping, utilities and stormwater facilities.
A May 2026 business-press article describes a project of the same name on the former Tyco plant site at Clay and Hamilton Streets. It says the nonprofit Tri-County Housing is partnering with builder Woda Cooper. The article cites 48 income-restricted units, affordable to households earning up to 60% of area median income. That differs from the county's 56 homes, so the final count may have changed. The article does not link the exact street address to the project.
No opposition, hearing results or approvals were found online.
