Interfaith Heights Rehabilitation - Wilkes Barre, PA
The Interfaith Heights project in Wilkes-Barre, PA, was a transformative residential conversion spread across 13 acres. This comprehensive rehabilitation involved upgrading 170 apartment units and 70 townhouses, revitalizing the entire complex to improve living standards, enhance community spaces, and create a welcoming environment for all residents.
The project required meticulous updates to both the interiors and exteriors, integrating modern amenities while preserving the character that makes Interfaith Heights a central part of the Wilkes-Barre community. This work reflects a strong commitment to quality and a dedication to fostering a community-focused atmosphere that supports residents’ long-term well-being.

Community Center Development
This commercial project involved the building and transformation of two adjacent properties in Kingston, PA, into a vibrant multi-use community hub. The development created a diverse mix of essential and recreational spaces, including a grocery store, synagogue, restaurant, café, and community center, serving as a central gathering place for the neighborhood.
Each space was thoughtfully designed to meet the unique needs of the community, fostering a sense of connection and accessibility. From the grocery store providing convenient access to fresh food, to the welcoming community center and café, the development supports local engagement and enriches community life.
Through careful planning and collaboration, this conversion project turned underutilized properties into a thriving, multifunctional destination, setting a new benchmark for commercial community spaces in the area.
