TPP Capital Holdings is a planning senior apartment buildings in North Philly. They say their waiting lists for new units demonstrate high demand for seniors who want out of old houses.
An aerial view of the 1708 W. Tioga St. apartment project, where the developer is almost doubling the number of units he wants to build.. The company argues it can make the project work by building densely with no parking, a plan that neighborhood groups have pushed back against in the past.
“The response we received is overwhelming,” said Anthony Miles, principal at TPP, based in Philadelphia. “But the notes they are sending us are disheartening because some of the conditions they are living in are disheartening. We really want to speed the process up.” “The committee expressed concerns about the lack of parking, which causes seniors to walk long distances,” reads a summary of a 2020 Tioga United neighborhood meeting about the smaller version of TPP’s project. “The size and number of units in this project is too much to bring into this neighborhood.”According to census data, the project’s zip code has a median household income of $22,628, with a poverty rate of 43.4%.
