Special Developments
SOUTHWEST RENEWAL INITIATIVE
PHDC has entered into a unique partnership, initiated by Anna C. Verna,
President of City Council, to revitalize a portion of Southwest Philadelphia
with a high degree of housing abandonment. Along with Presbyterian Homes
and Services and the Board of City Trusts, PHDC will participate in
a combined effort to rehabilitate approximately 90 vacant houses in
the area generally bounded by 57th Street, 60th Street, Woodland and
Chester Avenues.
As part of the first phase, PHDC combined 18 houses on the 2000 and 2100 blocks of Cecil Street into 11
rehabilitated homes. Fourteen of the original properties were structurally
integrated into “double-wide” units to produce seven homes
with significantly more spacious living areas.
PHDC was the developer, preparing the
architectural plans in-house, administering the bid process and inspecting
the work performed by a general contractor.
Funding for this $1.2-million development
came from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh,
the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority and Citizens Bank. Click here to see the Cecil Street development.
