VISION
Kay Builders is proposing The Ridge Farms, a vibrant mixed-use walkable community in South Whitehall. This as-of-right development project will add vibrancy to the area while filling a critical need for the age 55 and over community and for those of all ages seeking market rate housing. Residents will enjoy beautiful surroundings of the area with extensive open space and streetscape amenities, along with shops and outdoor eateries - all within walking distance for convenience.
The Ridge Farms proposal is consistent with the economic development plans of South Whitehall, as well as current zoning on the site.
Location
The proposed site, which offers spectacular views of Lehigh Valley, is located on the east and west sides of Cedar Crest Boulevard, between Walbert Avenue and Huckleberry Road, and is easily accessible from Interstate Route 22 by way of the Cedar Crest Exit a quarter mile to the south. Uses on the west side will consist of single-family, twin lots and medical office. The east side will include age-restricted single family & twin homes, apartments, village apartments as well as shops and restaurants.
Building Type
The Ridge Farms fulfills priorities set in the Comprehensive Plan as well as South Whitehall’s adopted forward-thinking zoning:
- Benefits of Traditional Neighborhood Design (TND) have been studied for years
- Site is adjacent to major collector roads
- Site is adjacent to commercial amenities & utility services
- Plan promotes walkability & contains amenities within
- Plan promotes Smart Growth principles
