Village Square on Haverford
Location: Philadelphia, Pa
type: mixed-use Multifamily
ARCHITECT: WRT
The proposed Village Square on Haverford is a major mixed-use, mixed-tenure, and mixed-income development that will catalyze the revival of a long-neglected area in central Mantua. The property will be built in the Philadelphia Promise Zone on a 2.5 acre site almost entirely occupied by parcels of long-vacant, publicly-owned land, bound by 36th Street to the east, 37th Street to the west, Wallace Street to the North, and Haverford Avenue to the south. The development of Village Square will proceed in two phases. Phase I will entail the construction of a new 112-unit workforce housing and market-rate apartment complex, along with a four-story 11,500 square foot office building that houses WURD Radio, Lomax Real Estate Partners and The Reading Room Coffee Shop, a 21,145 SF single-tenant space in Market Fresh and two surface parking lot. Market Fresh is the first full-service grocer to enter the Mantua market in over 30 years. Phase II, meanwhile, will add an innovative and robust affordable housing element to complement the workforce housing and market-rate components of Phase I, comprising 32 affordable rental and 18 affordable homeownership housing units. With the project team of WRT and Larsen Landis, J+M Engineering provided site utility design services, building systems engineering for the mixed use building as well as the low rises, and MEP layouts for the modular construction of the dwelling unit interiors. The majority of the project will be constructed off site as modular construction.
