Opening of energy-efficient community will mark 51st LEED building in Hankin’s portfolio
Latest addition to the 19-acre apartment community adds 72 brand new units as part of Phase II
EXTON, PA (March 24, 2026) – Hankin Group, a vertically integrated real estate company, has begun construction on the seventh apartment building at Keva Flats, which will add 72 sustainable apartments to the 266-unit, 19-acre luxury apartment community in Exton, Pennsylvania. The community is managed by the award winning Hankin Apartments and plans to welcome residents to the newest addition in spring of 2027.
The addition will be a five-story, mid-rise building with a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units ranging from 795 to 1,570 square feet. The modern, pet-friendly apartments will boast ample natural light, luxury vinyl plank flooring, quartz countertops with tile backsplashes, smart lock keyless entry, central air, full-sized washer and dryer, oversized kitchen islands, and more. Residents will also have access to several shared building amenities, including ground-floor garage parking, EV charging, a dog wash station, bicycle storage, and a fire pit and grilling area.
The building is designed to meet LEED Gold certification standards, the second-highest level of green building awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council, with energy-efficient and eco-friendly features, including LED lighting, stainless steel Energy Star appliances, water-conserving bathroom fixtures, and sustainably sourced building materials. Upon certification, this will be the 51st LEED building in Hankin Group’s portfolio.
“Keva Flats was designed to balance contemporary living, sustainability, and community-oriented design,” said Bob Hankin, president and CEO, Hankin Group. “We’ve seen incredible demand for the living experience we’ve thoughtfully curated at Keva Flats, and we look forward to creating additional housing opportunities for our Exton community.”
Residents of the new building will also have access to Keva Flats’ full suite of premium amenities, including the two-story, 11,000-square-foot clubhouse; state-of-the-art fitness club with yoga/Pilates studio featuring Wellbeats virtual trainer; resort-style private pool with sun deck, grill stations, lounges, and fire pits; an expansive rooftop terrace and lounge; outdoor multi-sport court; multi-sport simulator room; and bark park for pets. The community also offers flexible workspaces; a resident lounge with entertainment kitchen and bar; private dining and conference rooms; and complimentary coffee bar.
In addition to on-site amenities, Keva Flats is integrated into West Whiteland Township’s Chester Valley Trail and residents enjoy easy access to Main Street at Exton, downtown West Chester, and SEPTA’s Exton Station.
Keva Flats is a sustainable, award-winning luxury apartment community built across seven residential buildings. Once complete, the latest addition will bring Keva Flats to 388 units and mark the conclusion of Phase II, which included one of Chester County’s first floodplain restoration projects and the addition of 96 apartments across two residential buildings. The first residential building delivered in Phase II was a 24-unit building that opened in September 2025.
“We eagerly await the new units for this sought-after Exton community. Keva’s location and proximity to area amenities make it a desirable place for locals and commuters alike, and our award-winning community management and maintenance teams ensure the daily lives of our residents are unparalleled,” added Michael Hankin, president of Hankin Apartments and COO of Hankin Group.
Keva Flats is a LEED Gold certified community and has received the PECO Green Award, which is given to a community for exceptional sustainability initiatives. The community has also been recognized with awards from the Pennsylvania Apartment Association (PAA), International Interior Design Association (IIDA), Mid-Atlantic Real Estate Journal, and National Apartment Association (NAA).
