Ember at Berwyn
Ember at Berwyn is a transformative mixed-use development that revitalizes Swedesford Plaza with a 250-unit apartment complex and 12,500 square feet of amenity space. Designed for millennials and active empty-nesters, the development offers a range of unit types and resort-style amenities like a pool, bocce courts, and a business center.
Inspired by the adjacent multi-modal trail infrastructure, the building’s design mirrors the rhythm of the trail. Weathered steel bridge trusses, cast concrete anchor points, and heavy timber overpasses create a material language that connects the architecture to its surroundings, making the development a natural extension of the trail.
In recent years, developers and townships have increasingly embraced dense, mixed-use developments for their transformative potential. Integrating multi-family housing into new and existing retail centers has become the norm, providing dynamic living options while energizing commercial spaces.
