Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia Award 2022:

We are very excited to announce that OmniVest Management alongside NORR and Mandrel Construction Company has received a Grand Jury Award from the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia for our efforts and collaboration in preserving character-defining elements from the Frankford Arsenal dating back to 1865. We partnered with Franklin Towne Charter School to restore the historical building to provide space for their Arts and Tech programs while maintaining and preserving its historic features such as the exposed brick walls, iron Phoenix columns, low brick arches, fink roof trusses, decorative cast iron staircase and intact window casings.

We are very honored and proud to be part of a project that assisted in allowing the community to continue to enjoy the beauty, craftmanship and history of 1865 while providing a high-quality educational program to the youth of Philadelphia that will well prepare them for their academic and professional careers.
