Have an abandoned building sitting around your neighborhood that’s not being used?

Three real estate investors brainstormed through many ideas and came up with an amazing idea to turn an abandoned Pennsylvania High School that has been vacant for 10 years into a 31-unit luxury apartment complex and breathe new life into a historic building after a $3.3 million renovation.

Bishop Boyle High School is a building (seen above) with a rich history in Homestead, Pennsylvania, located in the Homestead Historic District and was even listed in the National Register of Historic Places on June 10, 1990.
