This area is well known as the Historic District of Bethlehem and is highly sought-after due to its close proximity to employers, shops, bars, and fine dining. Originally built in 1915 as a five-story, 32,000 SF corporate office building for the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company, The Dodson Building was repurposed into a luxury rental community in 2014 by Allied Building Corporation. The property boasts an outstanding unit mix of (57%) one-bedroom units ranging from 703 to 782 square feet, and (43%) two-bedroom units at 1,033 to 1,248 square feet.

The bathrooms were renovated with high-end finishes as well. There is a full-size washer/dryer in all two-bedroom units. Tenants are responsible for electricity, heat, and hot water.

The Dodson’s outstanding finishes and premium location result in ±95% occupancy and a strong tenant base. Due to the quality of the product the apartments offer, current rents can be increased upwards of 15% without any needed capital expenditures.
