READING --- A developer is seeking permits to redevelop the vacant site of the former Addison-Wesley publishing company into a residential development. Developer Pulte Homes of New England wants to build 424 ownership units on the 25-acre site with 16 townhouses, 208 condominium units for people over the age of 55, and 200 condominium units with no age restrictions. The developer would reserve 40 of the condominium units with no age restriction as affordable to individuals or families that meet certain income criteria. If permitting proceeds smoothly, the developer plans to have the first units ready by spring 2012.
