A retail and residential loft development that has potential to be a development magnet for downtown Lincoln Park is breaking ground in November.
Lincoln Park Lofts, an $11.7 million project spearheaded by the Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency, will take the place of a the Lincoln Park Theater that's been closed for several years.
The project is a rehab and restoration of the theater, which is local landmark. Construction will take about a year to complete and be leased by December 2013, says Erin Southward, communications manager for Wayne Metropolitan Action Agency.
Lincoln Park Lofts consists of 12 loft apartments, two retail spaces of about 1,200 square feet each. A separate building behind the theater will be built as well and consist of 24 units of affordable housing, Southward says.
