Permits have been filed for the construction of The Maven, a mixed-use development at 1533 Ridge Avenue in Francisville, North Philadelphia. Designed by CANNOdesign and developed by Khosla Properties, the 23,665-square-foot building will yield 28 apartments and a ground-floor commercial space on Ridge Avenue. Units will come in one- and two-bedroom layouts. Construction costs are estimated at $3.9 million.
Renderings depict a stately brick structure with large windows. The ground floor features floor-to-ceiling windows framed by an ornamented brickwork façade. The contemporary-styled cladding is sure to stand out within the neighborhood. Amenities include keyless entry and custom closets. The building will include a roof deck and large private patios.
The edifice will rise from a mostly vacant plot. A rundown two-story brick structure sits in the back of the property on Parrish Street.

The project is yet another on a roster of developments that are set to break ground on Ridge Avenue. Francisville will see hundreds of new residential units in the coming years, ushering a development boom that the neighborhood has not seen in decades.
Almost all of the new projects on Ridge Avenue feature ground-floor retail space. Increased density will boost pedestrian presence on the street and is likely to attract commercial tenants to the retail corridor.
