The Lofts at York Creek is a proposed apartment community of 178 units on about 10 acres at 500 W. College Ave. in York City. City planning records describe it as converting an industrial site to residential use. A companion project, The Towns at York Creek, appears on the same city agendas at 550 W. College Ave.
The developer's plans changed during review. In October 2024 the plans were revised to reduce rooftop green space and move the stormwater features. The city planning commission asked for conditional recommendations, depending on the city engineer's review. By September 2025 the commission's agenda listed a recommendation on the final land development and subdivision plan. That recommendation was conditioned on resolving engineer comments. No news coverage or developer project page was found, and the outcome of that vote was not found.
What it could mean nearby
- Reusing an industrial site for housing would add 178 homes in the city.
- Stormwater handling was a reviewed issue, so runoff management is part of the plan.
- Rooftop green space was reduced in the revised plans, so less open space is on the buildings.
- Traffic, school and utility effects were not described in the sources found.
Where it stands
