The Daily Local reports that the Chester County Commissioners voted unanimously to sell property in downtown West Chester to Zukin Realty Co.

According to the Daily Local:

Buyer Zukin Realty Co. will pay the county $575,000 for the properties, or $600,000 if the firm is able to get the buildings certified as student housing by the borough within a year after the sale. That contingency appears unlikely, as the Borough Council is currently considering a move to put a limit on new student housing units in the central business district.

The Daily Local goes on to report:

The sale was made without an easement that would forbid the new owner from significantly altering or demolishing the historic structures.
