ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT > 22nd Street Transit-Oriented Development
Our 22nd Street Transit-Oriented Development Plan is designed to develop for-sale and rental housing units and renovate vacant industrial space within close proximity to the Allegheny Avenue regional rail station.
The development of newly renovated housing units and retail space within walking distance of the train stop presents an opportunity for residents and small businesses to connect more easily to the surrounding region.
Residents working outside the city will find their new homes’ proximity to the R6 Norristown line a pleasant convenience, and the short distance between the proposed new retail units and public transit provides potential consumers with easy access to goods and services.
In total, this project calls for the development of 70 units of for-sale housing, 100 units of rental housing, approximately 40,000-square-feet of retail space and the redevelopment of approximately 50 acres of light industrial space.
