Pennrose recently celebrated the groundbreaking for Choice Neighborhood V – Downtown, a new mixed-income residential development that marks the fifth and final housing phase of the Marshall-Ridley Choice Neighborhood Initiative.

Located at 2815 Washington Avenue, Choice Neighborhood V – Downtown will add 73 new apartment homes and ground-floor commercial space. “The groundbreaking marks the fifth and final phase of the Marshall-Ridley Choice Neighborhood Initiative,” said Patrick Stewart, regional vice president at Pennrose.
