Affordable Townhouse Development

5 Units developed with HACE

In partnership with HACE - a Philadelphia community development group, VBC produced a two-story townhome, affordable Multi-Family housing development in the outer city of Philadelphia.

These townhomes are perfect for families, with three comfortable bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. The building style was optimized to fit on a standard sixteen-foot wide infill lot around the city, focusing on identifying vacant properties for redevelopment and making them available for sale to low- and moderate-income homebuyers.

By utilizing this design and development model in Philadelphia and on a larger scale in similar markets on the East Coast – additional affordability levers can be triggered.
