The Bala Cynwyd-based Keystone, which bought the four-acreproperty in 2004 for $4.2 million, plans to renovate threebuildings in the center. Upgrades include new HVAC units, newelectric, new elevators and walkways as well as a complete'reskinning' of the buildings' exteriors, which involves replacingall the windows and doors and giving the buildings new facades. Thefourth building, a 2,400-sf office, will be demolished and replacedwith additional parking spaces.

The remaining buildings, which include an 8,000-sf standalonefronting Butler Pike; the three-story, 26,000-sf West Building andthe four-story East Building are being marketed by Keystone and GVASmith Mack as office condos. According to Greg Hanson, Keystone'sregional director for the mid-Atlantic region, the average askingprice is $210 per sf, a price that is in line with similarbuildings being sold in Exton, PA, where condo offices are morecommon than in Ambler.
