EASTON, PA — Plans are starting to take shape for the Marquis Theatre to be razed for condos.

Ashley Development received preliminary approval Wednesday for its second major Downtown condominium project.

Bethlehem-based Ashley proposes razing the former Marquis movie theater at 175 S. Third St. to make way for the nine-story Majestic building.

The project would include 100 two-bedroom condominiums and 43 one-bedroom condos atop roughly 7,000 square feet of retail space fronting South Third Street.
