Reading, PA – August 5, 2025 – Stan Senator Judy Schwank sent a formal letter to the owner of the Berkshire shopping center with a request to update in terms of real estate condition and their long -term plans on the website.
Because Namdar Realty Group bought a shopping center in 2020, the condition of the shopping center and the surrounding property was constantly falling. The signs of neglect are evident on the interior and outside the building, and the sink holes caused a fence of enormous parts of the parking lot.
“Berkshire Mall has been a permanent element of our community for decades, and its further deterioration is disturbing,” said Schwank. “The current state of real estate raises real questions about public security and the owner’s readiness to invest in the necessary maintenance.”
In the Schwank letter, he asks Namedar Realty Group to clarify the structural integrity of the building and ensure the transparency of their vision of the future of the shopping center.
“The inhabitants of Berks deserve answers,” said Schwank. “This is not just a problem with the Wyomissing district, which you should deal with yourself. The state of the Berkshire shopping center affects the surrounding communities, and we all want the center of activity. The further it falls into disappointment, the more difficult and expensive task of inhaling new life in the property becomes for future developers.”
Schwank has completed the letter, calling for the company for sale of real estate if he is unable or not wants to provide an update or making investments needed to ensure security. You can see a copy of the letter Here.
Namedar Realty Group also stands in the face of the control of another shopping center, which is the owner in Pennsylvania, which has been damaged. The company has recently received payment $ 1.8 million fine In the case of repeated codes and maintenance violations in Pittsburgh Mills Mall.
