Final Flyby Friday - Grand Opening Edition for the Apartments at Clearfield!
Fresh off last week's Grand Opening, we're taking a look at Apartments at Clearfield, a new 47,250-square-foot affordable senior housing community developed by NewCourtland in Philadelphia's Allegheny West neighborhood! One year ago, Batman was overhead capturing the topping out of the structure, and last week, he was back for the exciting celebration of completion.

This four-story community provides 48 affordable one-bedroom apartments for independent seniors, along with thoughtfully designed gathering spaces, supportive services, and amenities that help residents remain connected to the community they call home. Tuesday's celebration brought together project partners, community leaders, residents, and supporters, including remarks from MBC President Paul McDonald. It was a meaningful reminder of what can be accomplished when building partners come together around a shared vision. MBC is grateful to NewCourtland for their partnership and leadership throughout this project, as well as Allegheny West Foundation, PHFA, PHA, Stone Sherick Consulting Group, CBP Architects, our fellow trade partners, and many others whose dedication helped bring this community to life. Philadelphia has a significant need to further housing solutions for aging residents, and we are proud to be a part of this tremendous team. NewCourtland - we are ready for the next one!
Projects like Apartments at Clearfield remind us that our affordable housing work is about more than constructing buildings. It's about creating spaces that support independence, strengthen communities, and provide opportunities for people to thrive for years to come. From sitework to final finishes, dignity is found in the details. #buildingontrust #welcometothembcfamily #mbccares #flybyfriday #affordablehousing #seniorliving #communitydevelopment #newcourtland #philadelphia
