Larken Associates, a regional leader in real estate building, development and management, announces it has acquired The Residence at Wyomissing, a 102-unit apartment community located at 1401 Pershing Boulevard in Reading, Pennsylvania.
Situated in the Wyomissing neighborhood of Reading, the 101,587-square-foot property consists of two four-story elevatored apartment buildings strategically located in the Wyomissing neighborhood of Reading, Pa. The property is easily accessible to Routes 12, 222 and 422 and boasts proximity to numerous major employers as well as a wide range of educational and retail opportunities. Additionally, the community is less than two miles from Reading Hospital and less than three miles from downtown Reading. Rebranded by Larken Associates as The Reserve at Wyomissing, the company will seek to transform the newly acquired real estate property into the latest piece of the company’s growing portfolio of premier residential communities across New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
With construction to be overseen by Core Enterprises, Larken Associates’ in-house construction management team, Larken Associates’ capital improvement plan will enhance the existing community amenities through renovations to the lobbies, vestibules, leasing office, hallways and common areas. Additionally, Larken Associates will add lounge and game rooms in both buildings as well as finished laundry rooms. The exterior façade will also be renovated along with other aesthetic upgrades throughout the property. Larken Associates will also be updating newly available units with shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, LVT Flooring, modern lighting packages and upgraded bathrooms. The improvements are scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2021.
