Groundbreaking Postponed on 32 Roxborough Homes

Looks like those new homes in Roxborough will be coming a week later than expected.

Citing inclement weather concerns, the groundbreaking of Kingsley Court, a 32-home development going in at 5627 Ridge Avenue, has been cancelled for Friday.

According to a release from the developer, the ceremonial beginning of construction has been pushed back a week and is scheduled for Feb 15 at 11 a.m.

Upon completion, Kingsley Court will be a 32 three-story, four-bedroom, 3.5 bath homes listed at $339,900 as a starting price. Located at the former Ivy Ridge Nursing Home, the property creates a new road, Kingsley Court, which Mayor Michael Nutter recently signed into law. No access will exist to Houghton Street.
