A local developer's proposal to build 58 townhouse-style condos on the former Bishop Shanahan site got a favorable recommendation from West Chester Borough's Planning Commission on Tuesday. The planning commission recommended that borough council give McCool Properties' proposal preliminary approval. Should borough council grant this approval, McCool would have to make minor adjustments to the project and seek final approval.
Chris McCool, of McCool properties, said he hopes to get final approval by June, to begin marketing the townhomes by late summer, and to break ground by late fall 2009 or early spring 2010. According to current plans, the townhouses will be three stories with a two-car garage underneath; they will have three to four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and two additional parking spaces in back. The site, which contains the former Bishop Shanahan High School, is at West Gay and Everhart streets. The high school building, which most recently housed the Collegium Charter School, will be demolished.
