NKCDC brings life to abandoned buildings by providing affordable housing
Orinoka Civic House
Orinoka Civic House is a $17.8 million overhaul of the former Orinoka Mills factory at 2771-2777 Ruth Street, Philadelphia. Once a textile mill for curtains and upholstry, Orinoka now contains 51 units of sustainable, affordable housing, an indoor community space, a commercial storefront and NKCDC offices.
Coral Street Arts House
Coral Street Arts House was a vacant textile mill at 2446-2468 Coral Street, Philadelphia. Today, after a $7.5 million renovation, the building provides 27 units of affordable live-work space for artists and their families.
Moyer Street Townhomes
In 2016 Awesometown became the first LEED V4 Homes Platinum Certified project in Pennsylvania. NKCDC partnered with Postgreen Homes to redevelop a former industrial site into a unique mixed-income residential development of 14 sustainable townhomes. Ten were sold at market rate by Postgreen Homes; four were subsidized and sold to qualifying income-eligible homebuyers through NKCDC.
