Northeast Philadelphia

The combination of stable rowhouse neighborhoods, opportunities for new housing construction and easy access to shopping malls have made the Far Northeast a very desirable residential location. Recently the area has seen extensive private residential investment using tax-abatement incentives.

Major Projects:
Byberry State Hospital Site
This 130-acre site is in a high-value residential area of the Northeast. It is currently under planning for a mixed-use residential and commercial development. Proposals call for half of the site to be homeownership with up to 400 units of market-rate housing and the other half to contain office space and commercial areas. The site is currently under development by a partnership of the Brandywine Realty Trust and Westrum Development Company.
