- Stockton Street Apartments: A distressed project that is 50% vacant, the 26 rental units in 11 structures scattered along and near Stockton Street in the Old Trenton neighborhood will be acquired and renovated by Isles. At the end of the tax credit period, Isles will convert the rental homes to owner occupancy.

Isles is targeting LEED Silver certification for the adaptive rehabilitation.
