“NoBA was just a way for us to signal there’s a new sheriff in town, new money coming into town,” said Michals, the manager partner for Cross.

Cross Properties’ NoBA project aims to do nothing less than revitalize Bala’s Main Street by bringing new residents and shops to the neighborhood business district.

“Our mission at Cross Properties is to create community,”…“We do that with our staff. We do that with neighborhoods. We do that with the residents that live in our communities and, of course, with our investors.”

“[The] dream is to draw from the Bala office market and have them come over for lunch and make it a destination. What we have is charm, density and a train station next door.”

A project five years in the making, blending history and amenities for leading-edge apartment living.
