Welcome to Altair

Our Site: Kimberton Village, PA.

• We are looking at 8+ acres in the Village of Kimberton.

• Kimberton is one of six villages designated by the Phoenixville Regional Master Plan for business development.

• Toward that end, the Town has changed its zoning to allow mixed use and more dense development.

• We are currently seeking a developer.

• There is an active business association in the village, and also an initiative to improve the main block with landscaping improvements which will help slow down traffic.

Costs

• • We are actively seeking investors for Cohousing, which may include elder housing, and businesses.

  • We estimate the cost of a home to be approximately $200 per square foot plus a percentage of the Community Building, or approximately $225,000 for a 2 bedroom.

  The Process

  • We are going to have to acquire an easement to Prizer or Kimberton Roads to complete the land acquisition.

  • A participatory community site design session will follow.

  • As we seek approvals, we will continue with the Community Building design.

  • We put together our documentation and seek financing.

  • Ground-breaking should start two to three years after we acquire the land and an easement.

  Features

  • 35-40 Cohousing homes of varying types and sizes

  • several commercial spaces

  • Community Building, with central dining, kitchen, activities spaces, laundry, guest rooms, and possibly a nursing business related to the elder housing.

  • LEED Platinum designation, with low impact development for the site and many energy efficiencies

  • Over 4 acres of open space for recreation, gardening, and community uses

  • Underground parking, pedestrian-oriented
