The city of Coatesville is poised to become home to the county’s hottest new venues. A joint venture called Midway Arches is transforming what were formerly two church properties into modern and functional spaces for the community to use for a multitude of purposes; such as weddings, special events, meetings and other gatherings. The duo venues that make up Midway Arches are St. Cecilia’s at 99 North 6th Avenue and St. Stan’s on 209 West Lincoln Highway in Coatesville. The properties sat vacant for some time, until New Heritage Properties and Activated Capital saw their potential and came together to revitalize the two sister sites. Community members, local business owners and state, county and local officials recently gathered to celebrate the grand opening of Midway Arches and catch a glimpse of the transformation.

Joshua Burrell of Activated Capital and co-owner of Midway Arches said, “We’re excited about the future and re-emerging from a global pandemic even stronger than before; this project demonstrates the capacity for how collaborative efforts can lead to major results.”

When they first set off, the Midway Arches team was looking to not only just re-develop the property, but to intentionally develop community and get individuals excited about what is going on in the city. >
