Simpson Gardens 2

Affordable Housing Urban Site Common Spaces Independent Apartments Place of Worship Award Recipient

Simpson Gardens 2 is a sister project to the neighboring project Simpson Gardens 1 on the same one acre site. Sponsored by Simpson and The Garden Church Methodist church, with a competitive grant from the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency and Delaware County through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program. The new 4-story, 43,000 square foot building provides 41 one and two-bedroom rental apartments for low-income seniors along with community spaces and off-street parking. The building met the standards in energy efficiency through the Enterprise Green Communities program. The Garden Church formerly on the site is now housed within the new building. The architectural design of the apartment building mirrors that of the first building in character with the historic district of Lansdowne.

Simpson Gardens 2 received the Bronze Award in the category of Affordable Housing from Senior Housing News Architecture & Design Awards 2022.
