About this project
ABP Investments plans to redevelop the 0.34-acre lot at 1020 Violet Street in Norristown by subdividing it into five attached homes, each with its own entrance and sharing a driveway and rear parking area. The lot now has a single house, and the plan adds a sidewalk along Violet Street and an underground stormwater basin.
