Interior rendering from Urban Sites website

Urban Sites has begun building Metaphor Flats, a new office project at 532 Reading Road.

The converted warehouse will feature open spaces, large windows and hardwood floors. Each floor will contain 3,000-4,000 square feet of space and rent for $10.00-$12.50 per square foot.

The sale of the 16,557 square foot building, built in the 1880s, was finalized in April 2007.

Soon after, building permits for interior renovation of the space and for plumbing fixtures were applied for and issued.

The current building permit is limited to interior work only. There is no word on the exteriors.

An opening date has not been set.

Urban Sites has done several projects in the area, including the Lofts on Broadway and the Light & Manor Houses.
