The project is a four-story apartment building for seniors at 328-30 W Queen Ln in Germantown. It would hold 49 apartments. The county record also lists a community center at the front of the ground floor and 16 bicycle spaces. The building would be fully sprinklered.
A City of Philadelphia environmental notice says an abandoned ruin on the site would be cleared first. It says all 49 units would be backed by the Philadelphia Housing Authority through project-based vouchers. That means the subsidy is tied to the apartments. Thirteen units would be fully accessible for people with disabilities. Five units would serve seniors with very low incomes. The notice gives a total cost of about $20.9 million.
No news coverage, zoning hearing records or opposition were found.
