The Mills at Lehigh Hits 50% Leased in Bethlehem, PA

The Mills at Lehigh has quickly made its mark on the Lehigh Valley rental market with an amazing 50% of its homes leased in just the first few weeks of availability. It is unquestionably one of area’s most notable residential openings in recent memory, according to joint venture partners Sterling Properties and Kriegman and Smith.

The Mills at Lehigh kicked off its highly-anticipated leasing program in mid-November, delivering a collection of 44 upscale apartments to 2080 Westgate Drive in the heart of Bethlehem, PA. The community has fast caught the attention of renters with six different one-and two-bedroom layouts to choose from, an exciting suite of private amenities and a desirable location near the lifestyle pulse of Lehigh Valley.

“Rental velocity traditionally slows in late fall and the fact that we’ve been able to lease so many homes at this time is a strong testament to luxury apartment living at The Mills,” says Nick Hollenbeck, Director of Sales and Marketing for Sterling Properties. “Bethlehem has registered high population growth and there’s tremendous demand for high quality rentals in and around its downtown. The Mills is helping to satisfy that demand with a modern, new building and beautifully-designed homes less than ten minutes from the vibrant business, dining and shopping on Main Street.”

Homes at The Mills feature private balconies, 9’ ceilings, luxury flooring, LED lighting, fine wood grain cabinetry and quartz countertops. Monthly rents initially start at $1,355 and the developers are offering a grand opening incentive of one month free. Immediate occupancy is available.

The Mills is in close proximity to a network of major highways, including RT 22, 378 and 78. Public transportation is also available via LANTA bus service right outside the community entrance. The ultra-commuter friendly location provides easy access to all the makes downtown Bethlehem so attractive, with a retail scene that has something for everyone whether that be a renowned restaurant scene and boutique shops or arts and culture and historical landmarks. Closer to home, in-building recreational and social amenities at The Mills include a fitness center, resident lounge, BBQ area and entertaining space.

The Lehigh Valley International Airport is situated less than three miles away from The Mills. The community is a quick trip from national retailers and brand name stores such as Target, Sam’s Club, PetSmart, Wegmans and much more.

“Bethlehem has experienced incredible growth into a hotspot for industry and culture,” Mr. Hollenbeck adds. “The Lehigh Valley has become a hub of dining, nightlife, entertainment and arts. The area has also established itself as a regional leader in the business and health care sectors. The evolution of Bethlehem has made it into one of northeast Pennsylvania’s most desired live/work/play destinations.
