This infill, mixed-use project is the first new construction venture by Kensington Corridor Trust, an emerging nonprofit organization set up to create a safe, prosperous, and inclusive Kensington corridor through the purchase, activation and long-term preservation of storefronts and commercial properties along Kensington Avenue.  Over time, the entity will be controlled by the community, thus creating Philadelphia's first Neighborhood Trust.  Featuring a bio-voltaic roof (rooftop solar PV panels and an extensive green roof system) and plant based building materials, the project is pursuing the Department of Energy’s Zero Energy Ready Homes program, with a focus on indoor air quality and energy efficiency.
