Permits have been filed for the construction of a multi-family residential structure at 2203 North 7th Street in North Philadelphia East in the greater Temple University area. The building will replace a vacant lot that sits one property away from the intersection of North 7th Street and West Susquehanna Avenue. The property is owned by 3413-15 Frankford Ave LLC.
The grassy lot is sandwiched between two three-story rowhouses, a prewar one to the south and another one to the north built in 2019. A similar structure was built a short distance away and another across the street around the same time, signaling a coming resurgence in a part of the city with an abundance of vacant land. The multi-family project will span a 1,496-square-foot footprint, which is larger than average for the area. The structure is not to exceed 38 feet tall, not counting the pilot house that will be used to access the roof deck.
The Hartranft John F. School is located a few blocks to the north at 720 West Cumberland Street, teaching children from kindergarten to eighth grade. The Temple University Station of the of the SEPTA regional rail sits a few blocks to the southwest. Temple University is located within a five- to ten-minute walk in the same direction.
