You know that cleared corner lot at Chester Avenue and Fulton Terrace that's been sitting there looking sad for almost five years? The one you pass when you're heading to the BeltLine from Memorial Drive? Well, it's finally happening. Embry Development Company has taken over the project from Toll Brothers and dirt is actually moving.
The development, now called Camber Crossing, will bring 85 residential units to that prime spot just a block west of the Eastside Trail. We're talking townhomes and for-sale condos, which is exactly what this stretch of Reynoldstown needs as it continues to evolve along with the rest of the BeltLine corridor. The original plans were approved years ago, but you know how these things go with developers and financing and all that.
What's encouraging is that this isn't some massive high-rise that'll block out the sun. It's the kind of missing-middle housing that actually fits the neighborhood character while still bringing density near transit. And lord knows we need more for-sale options that aren't $800k single-family homes. The fact that it's finally moving forward after years of false starts feels like a small victory for anyone who's been watching this corner collect weeds.
