The Philadelphia-based company, which owns the Franklin Street property, poured the foundation for the building in early August. Pennrose first presented its plans for a mixed-use, mixed-income development on the riverfront property in 2019, when it first was approved by the City Council. The aim of the project, according to Pennrose, is to help create a “vibrant,” pedestrian-friendly, urban setting on Franklin Street and link to downtown’s cultural attractions, including providing affordable housing for young artists drawn by the Five Points Gallery. Before Pennrose could begin building, the city was responsible for cleaning up the site, which required removing contaminated soil. Adams said the city has been a great partner.
