The 120-year-old building that for years has been sitting vacant at the corner of 17th <\/sup>and Tasker Streets in Pointe Breeze will be coming back to life as residential and community space.<\/p>\n

\"George<\/a><\/p>\n

George W. Childs Elementary School – 1501 S. 17th Street – Pointe Breeze<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Last month the Philadelphia Zoning Board of Adjustment approved a redevelopment project that will transform the former George W. Childs Elementary School which left the building in 2010 and moved to a new address at 16th<\/sup> and Wharton Streets.<\/p>\n

The Philadelphia Inquirer<\/a><\/em> previously reported that the 72,900-sq.-ft. asset was purchased for $1.2 million by Metal Ventures, Inc. in spring 2014, after the School Reform Commission had approved the sale of seven shuttered schools and a former administrative building to multiple buyers in a transaction totaling $37.8 million.<\/p>\n

Metal Ventures\u2019 adaptive reuse project calls for a mixed-use property that will include 73 apartments\u201410 of which will be offered as affordable housing to individuals earning less than 80 percent of Philadelphia\u2019s Area Median Income, or less than $44,150 per year for an individual. As detailed by PlanPhilly<\/a><\/em>, a studio in the redeveloped building could rent for as much as $1,100 per month, including utilities.<\/p>\n

The project will also have a parking garage for 48 cars, one of which will be set aside for a car-sharing service, as well as 11 parking spaces for bikes and a green roof and roof decks. The former school\u2019s auditorium, which encompasses 7,000 square feet of space, will be available to local community groups two nights per week, free of charge.<\/p>\n

The three-story, brick-clad structure was built in 1894 by Johnson & Byrens under plans designed by Joseph W. Anschutz, with two additional wings completed 34 years later. The Classic Revival-style building was added to the national Register of Historic Places in 1988.<\/p>\n
