Spearheaded by ACTION-Housing and Hosanna House, this transformative project will bring 41 affordable apartments and ground-floor retail space to revitalize a key entrance to the Wilkinsburg business district.
Penn Lincoln Apartments
Set to be completed in 2026, the mixed-use development will consist of a five-story structure encompassing 63,301 square feet, of which 12,000 square feet will be designated for ground-floor commercial space. The residential component will feature 41 affordable units for households earning at or below 60% of the Area Median Income, with specific allocations for one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. ACTION-Housing is also committed to providing supportive services for tenants, including enhanced assistance for individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities.
The development was a collective effort to invest in the Wilkinsburg community by providing quality, affordable housing, and commercial space to redevelop a vital intersection of the Penn Avenue corridor where the Penn Lincoln Hotel once stood. The site of the demolished Penn Lincoln Hotel has long been a priority for redevelopment. After years of planning efforts by community stakeholders, ACTION-Housing was engaged to develop the site.
