Daily News | One of Philly’s last high-rise public housing sites may be preserved, with nearly 700 units added
The Philadelphia Housing Authority’s redevelopment of the nearly 60-year-old West Park apartment complex is shaping up to be unique in the recent history of public housing in the city.
But the housing authority and its partners, including nationally renowned New York-based L+M Development Partners, seem to have something else in mind. They hope to correct some planning mistakes of old by reconnecting the site to the street grid and building a mixture of housing in between. Philadelphia Housing Authority cautioned that the proposal — a collaboration between LMXD, an affiliate of L+M that specializes in mixed income projects, and the New York-based firm M Squared — has not been approved by its board, and details are still subject to change or even wholesale rejection.The redevelopment proposal totals about 1,000 houses, in place of the 327 units that were in the towers.
