FAIRHILL AFFORDABLE HOUSING -PHILADLEPHIA, PAFairhill Phase 1 and Phase 2 are proposed developments in the Glenwood area with each site comprised of an existing 18-story, 101 unit building that are to be refurbished along with 30 and 33 new construction townhomes with a total of 67 residential units and a new community center.
The site consists of the “super-block” bound by York Street to the South, 10th Street to the East, 11th Street to the West and Cumberland Street to the North. A proposed new public street called Boston Place is to run midway between Cumberland Street and York Street, separating the super-block in two. The Northern block created by this proposed street will be the home of Fairhill Phase 1 and the Southern block will be home of Fairhill Phase 2. On the sites, each will have 51 new off-street parking spaces (including three handicapped-accessible spaces), a multitude of bike storage spaces and over 5,500 square feet of amenity space available for resident use. In addition to the abundant amenity spaces included on both sites, Phase 1 (Northern block) incorporates a Community Center to be shared between the two developments. |
