County records show a plan to prepare Lot 7 of the former IAC site in Carlisle Borough for 121 apartments. The land is in the Urban Mixed Use zoning district, which allows homes, shops and offices close together.
The IAC site is a former factory property, also known as the Masland site. It has been cleaned up and redeveloped in stages. A state environmental agency release from August 2026 describes the wider area as mostly built out. It lists affordable townhomes, apartments for veterans, a hotel, shops, a community center and a public park.
No news coverage, meeting agendas or developer pages were found for Lot 7 or the 121-unit plan. The size, design, builder and future residents are not confirmed online.
