Nearby neighbors hope the proposed apartment building will help pressure the city to make Lehigh Avenue safer.
A 157-unit apartment complex is proposed for a desolate strip of Lehigh Avenue that’s been getting a lot of development attention as a location for large residential projects.
“The building considers the scale of new construction in the area such as 2157 E. Lehigh Ave. down the street along with the frequency of material changes that exist within the sections of townhomes between Frankford Avenue and Emerald Street,” Brian Corcodilos, CEO of Designblendz, said in an email.The units are largely one-bedroom apartments, although there will also be 17 two-bedroom units.
The East Kensington Neighbors Association says it has been in conversation with the developer about keeping space open for a future trail that could run along the railway to connect cyclists and pedestrians to the Delaware riverfront.
