Townhouses proposed for Pulsations lot

A Malvern-based developer wants to build a 58-unit townhouse complex on the parking lot of the former Pulsations nightclub in Concord Township.

Bo Erixxon, vice president of land and site development for The Benson Companies, and attorney Don Petrosa, made a brief, preliminary presentation on the project to Concord Township supervisors during the board’s June 5 meeting.

The property, in the C-2 zoning district, is more than 4 acres in size. It’s located at 240 Baltimore Pike (Route 1 at Dougherty Road).

Erixxon said the 58 units, if the plan goes through, would be stacked twins selling for $300,000 to $400,000. The target buyers would be empty nesters.

The preliminary plan calls for landscaped buffering and the construction of an interior road.

Supervisors’ Chairman Dominic Pileggi said of the idea: “We can take a parking lot and turn it into something nice.”

Despite Pileggi’s comment, the presentation was only preliminary and the board will decide later whether it wants to hear more. If it does, the applicant will have to go through a conditional use hearing as well as get the Planning Commission’s recommendation before getting final approval from the Board of Supervisors.

Pulsations opened in 1983, but ran into financial trouble a decade later. Exotic dancers were brought in, and the community turned against the owners. The business twice filed for bankruptcy and was finally closed in 1994.
