Today, Mayor Michael A. Nutter announced that the City of Philadelphia will be partnering with Asociacíon Puertorriqueños en Marcha (APM) and Jonathan Rose Companies (JRCo) to construct a mixed-use, mixed-income, transit-oriented development near the Temple Rail Station, located on 9th Street between Berks and Norris Street. The proposed project will include 164 rental apartments available to a mix of household income levels, with at least 44 units being affordable housing units, and ground floor community and retail space. The project will strengthen the adjacent Ludlow / Temple University neighborhoods and serve as a gateway for transit access into eastern North Philadelphia. This project is made possible, in part, by $487,000 in federal funding secured by Senator Bob Casey.
\”This environmentally sustainable transit village will build on the area’s existing assets to transform the neighborhood in a safer, more livable community,\” said Mayor Nutter. \”I appreciate the dollars Senator Casey has provided to the project and look forward to working with both APM and JRCo to get this exciting new development started.\”
