West Chester is hot, and it's not just the weather. We've taken in more than 500 permits this year so far, and there is no sign of the action cooling off. Hopefully, you've been staying cool at one of our Takeover on The Square Thursday night concerts, the UCBMA Food Truck Rally, or Taps, Tastes, and Tunes over the 4th of July holiday. We've had a lot of big things happening this summer.
West Chester is making a significant investment to transform the heart of our events, The Square @ Union Centre. The conceptual drawings promise a permanent stage space, new splash fountains, shade structures and bench swings. The project is expected to kick off this fall. This revitalization is not just about aesthetics; it's about creating a more enjoyable and vibrant community space for all. The $50 million Clock Tower apartments, a 326-unit luxury, multi-family community located on Towne Square, is now leasing, and some home units are scheduled to open this summer. The new residents will surely appreciate the enhanced public space.
Dirt-moving on Cincinnati Dayton Road at Union Centre Boulevard is making room for two luxury apartment complexes. The Ellington (Hills Development) and The Noble (NorthPoint Development). They are being built simultaneously. We expect to see other retail and restaurant developments on this key piece of land, as the prospect of new residents in the area has piqued interest.
