DOWNINGTON, PA (October 15, 2025) – Hankin Group, a vertically integrated real estate company, today announced construction is underway to expand River Station, the vibrant mixed-use residential community in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. Phase II will add 160 upscale, sustainable apartment homes across two new buildings to the 70-acre development.

The buildings will feature a mix of one-bedroom, one-bedroom with den, two-bedroom, and two-bedroom with den layouts, with units ranging from 765 to 1,217 square feet. Both buildings will be built to meet LEED Gold certification standards for sustainable design and construction.
