Ground broken for 410 luxury residential apartments in Exton
WEST WHITELAND >> Local lawmakers and municipal leaders were on hand for a groundbreaking ceremony last week for Ashbridge, which will include 410 luxury residential apartments in six buildings near the intersection of routes 30 and 100 in Exton. It is being built by Wolfson Group Inc.
“This project helps us solve an economic development issue — how do we keep bright young people in Chester County?” said state Sen. Andrew Dinniman, D-19 of West Whiteland. “Ashbridge has been designed with millennials and older adults in mind. It’s a beautiful, amenity-filled, walkable community with dining and entertainment options right here. This is how we keep Chester County hot and prosperous—young people will want to live here.”
It was 23 years ago Wolfson Group President Steve Wolfson approached officials at West Whiteland Township with his dream to build a walkable Main Street community. Phase One of that dream—the commercial development known as Main Street at Exton—launched in 2000 and has since become a thriving retail and dining destination at the intersection of routes 30 and 100.
On Aug. 6 he celebrated its full realization local lawmakers, municipal officials, architects, builders, engineers, bankers, and members of the community at a groundbreaking ceremony for Phase Two and Three: the Ashbridge Luxury Residential Apartments. Working closely with West Whiteland Township, the new community rising at Main Street at Exton will feature recreational amenities including a new trail that will enable residents to walk or bike directly to the newly renovated SEPTA/AMTRAK train station, a short walk from the development.
