Phase 1 of the Westpark Redevelopment project, a public-private partnership between LMXD, Philadelphia Housing Authority, and MSquared, will bring 327 new homes across three building typologies and transform a vacant public housing site into a mixed-income community in West Philadelphia. Phase 1 includes new construction of a mid-rise building, row homes and the rehabilitation of the southernmost existing tower. Of the 327 new homes, almost 140 units will be reserved for returning Westpark residents, and a total of 190 units will be affordable to households earning between 20 and 80 percent of the area median income (AMI). Located at 46th and Market Streets adjacent to SEPTA’s Market-Frankford Line, the project reconnects a long-isolated superblock to the surrounding neighborhood, delivering new mixed-income housing in an opportunity-rich location. The redevelopment includes significant sitework infrastructure to reconstruct the street grid and will add one acre of landscaped open space and a new central plaza.

Construction of Phase 1 broke ground in January 2026. Once all phases of the project are complete, the reimagined Westpark campus will comprise 1,000 new homes in 100% electric buildings, additional retail, comprehensive social services, and new public open space, incorporating green infrastructure for on-site rainwater capture.
