Eastern Tower Community Center in Chinatown has received a financial boost in the form of $3.7 million from the state.
The money, which will come in the form of an Economic Growth Initiative grant, will go toward Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corp's construction of the $75 million mixed-use building that is slated to go on a site at 10th and Vine streets in Philadelphia. The 23-story structure will total 227,000 square feet and include 144 apartments, offices, recreational and retail space as well as a parking garage. Once completed, it will become a significant anchor in the Chinatown community.
Earlier this year, the PCDC helped form an immigrant investor regional center to raise $33 million to fund a portion of the project. It also has a $42 million commitment from Citi Community Capital. The project received another $1 million from the William Penn Foundation and the Fund for Quality.
Construction is scheduled to begin early next year.
