Pennsylvania officials have awarded affordable housing developer Mission First Housing Group a $5 million grant to help build a complex of apartments, shops, offices, and early-learning classrooms at 59th and Market Streets in West Philadelphia.
The New Market West project, slated to cover an entire block, was Philadelphia’s biggest recipient of funds from the most recent round of Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program awards, Gov. Wolf’s office said Friday. The release did not include an already announced award from the 2017 RACP round to develop Aramark’s new headquarters at 2400 Market St.
