All residential units will be affordable to low-income tenants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The center\u2019s recreational space, which will be located on the ground floor, will include a gym, an activities room equipped with a pool table, and a basketball court. Plans also call for a banquet hall for various community events, and a parking garage with at least four rental vehicles offered by Zipcar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to <em>PlanPhilly.com<\/em>, PCDC is currently looking for an architect to design the project.
