Norris Homes is a $120 million development by Jonathan Rose Companies in coordination with the Philadelphia Housing Authority. The program focused on implementing a comprehensive approach to revitalization that linked new and rehabilitated housing with well-functioning services, schools, public assets, transportation, and access to jobs.

The green space is designed with a rich palette of native plants with environmental benefits, seasonal visual interests, and high performance in promoting stormwater management for the site and adjacent neighborhoods. The topographic character has turned into a unique opportunity to delineate the private and public outdoor spaces for gathering, gardening, or simply enjoying outside.
