The county records describe a land development plan for a 0.32-acre lot at 114 Washington Avenue in Downingtown Borough. It would hold 20 apartments in one building. The ground floor would be a parking garage, with more parking in the rear.
The lot is small, so the plan is a compact, dense, in-town building. The records don't say what is on the site now. They also don't say who would live there or whether the units would be rentals.
No news coverage, borough meeting notes, developer page or permit records specific to this project were found online. The explanation rests on the county filing alone, which was last updated on 2025-11-17.
What it could mean nearby
- Putting parking on the ground floor and in the rear suggests the plan aims to hold the building's parking on site, though the records give no space counts.
- Twenty new apartments would add housing within walking distance of Downingtown's borough streets.
- Traffic, school and utility effects are not described in the records found, so they can't be assessed here.
Where it stands
The county shows a land development filing, last updated 2025-11-17. No approval or decision was found online. Usually the borough planning commission reviews the plan next, then borough council votes on it. Any zoning relief needed would go to the zoning hearing board.
