PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Crossings at Ambler Station is
the second phase of our
redevelopment project here on
former EPA Superfund site that once
housed the manufacturing facility of
the Keasbey & Mattison Company.
The first phase of this revitalization
effort was the redevelopment of the
Boiler House, the only K&M factory
building left standing at the site. The
environmental remediation was
followed by the preservation and
restoration of the original building
core and shell. The interior of the
building was then transformed into
the 40,000 square foot Class‐A office
building that we all work in today!
The second phase will consist of the
environmental clean‐up,
infrastructure development, and
ultimately the construction of a 115‐
unit apartment complex right next
door. The successful remediation
and installation of required
infrastructure in connection with The
Crossings at Ambler Station will
return a vacant and deteriorating
land area to the tax rolls, and provide
a permanent employment and
residential center for the Ambler
community.
TIMELINE
We are hoping to begin construction
in the second quarter of 2014 and
begin leasing in late summer of 2015.
The construction of this project
should not interfere with the day‐to‐
day operations of the Boiler House.
BENEFITS
The residents of the Ambler Boiler
House will see several benefits from
the completion of this project. The
South parking lot will be expanded
which will provide additional parking.
We will be installing storage units in
the basements that will be made
available to our Boiler House tenants
to rent. Lastly, as an apartment
complex, we will be offering
corporate and/or temporary housing
for the Boiler House residents. We
will provide more details on all of
these items when they become
available.
