Permits have been issued for the construction of a four-story, 17-unit multi-family development at 1502-08 North 25th Street in Brewerytown, North Philadelphia. The building will include a basement, a green roof, and a roof deck, which will likely offer sweeping views of the skyline. The structure will hold 4,700 square feet of space and cost an estimated $1,885,000 to build, according to the permit.

The development will replace an industrial property. A masonry wall meets the sidewalk at the street with multiple garage doors, behind which is an open-air concrete pad, a remnant of an old structure. As the neighborhood is rapidly developing around the site, the structure is no longer the best use for the property, and a high-density proposal such as the one planned will support the improvement and the upward growth of the neighborhood.
Brewerytown has become one of Philadelphia’s hottest neighborhoods on the development scene a few years ago and has since welcomed a large number of new single-family homes and apartment buildings, many replacing vacant parcels and transforming the neighborhood. More recently, as demand for residential units in the area appears to be expanding, more multi-family and mixed-use proposals have been arriving, adding to the local density. To explore some of these planned projects, check out the neighborhood page at the bottom of the article.
No completion date for the project is known at this time, though construction may be finished by 2023.
