The Flagship Complex is a collection of six historic buildings located over two city blocks in the heart of downtown Erie, PA, the poorest zip code in the United States with a median income of approximately $10,600 per year.  The Flagship Complex has been renovated as part of a combined three block effort by the Erie Downtown Development Corporation using historic tax credits, Opportunity zone investment and locally raised equity investment totaling more than $100 million to transform and completely reposition the downtown area. The six buildings comprising the Flagship Complex were originally constructed in the mid-19th century.  They have now undergone a complete renovation and have been converted into a large mixed-use development containing 42 units of market rate apartments, 11, 225 square feet of retail space containing a restaurant, 12,295 square feet of office space, 23,035 square foot food hall housing nine different operators, and a 22,418 square foot grocery store in what had previously been a USDA designated food desert. This adaptive reuse will increase the property tax receipts from the renovated buildings by 200%, provide access to healthy foods create job opportunities primarily for woman, minorities, and refugees. All but three of the apartments are now occupied having only become available in January.
