32 Roxborough Homes to Break Ground Friday

A long-discussed housing project is beginning its construction.

A Roxborough development months in the making will be breaking ground on Friday.

Kingsley Court, a 32-home development that will be located at 5627 Ridge Avenue will begin its construction process with a groundbreaking ceremony on Friday, Feb 8 at 11 a.m.

The project calls for 32, four-story, four-bedroom, 3.5 bath homes he plans to sell for around $320,000. 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.
