MaKen Studios South is a social-impact investment within Philadelphia’s historic industrial corridor and one of two major adaptive reuse projects developed by Shift Capital as part of the MaKen portfolio. Originally built in the early 1900s as a textile mill, the property has been thoughtfully reimagined into flexible creative and light-industrial spaces designed for makers, small manufacturers, and entrepreneurs. Offering affordable, adaptable workspaces that honor the area’s industrial heritage, MaKen South fosters community-driven growth through strategic leasing and thoughtful design. The building is part of Shift Capital’s Made in Kensington initiative and benefits from proximity to public transit in the evolving Harrowgate / Kensington neighborhood.
