Artistan Lofts, a planned apartment complex for the corner of 12th and Jackson by Rufo Properties, has had its proposed 172 units scaled down to 151. The developer presented this revised proposal to the Lower Moyamensing Civic Association last night, according to the Passyunk Post.

In any case, anything is better than what’s there now: the property, which was once a brush factory, currently stands as a blighted eyesore just a stone’s throw away from South Philadelphia High School. If and when the project reaches completion, the complex will have 1-and-2-bedroom units ranging from $800 to $1,800/month.
