Philly YIMBY’s recent site visit has revealed that construction is underway at a three-story, five-unit multi-family structure at 1825 West Diamond Street in the Temple University area in North Philadelphia. Designed by KCA Design Associates, the building will hold 7,240 square feet of space and cost an estimated $1 million to build. 1825 Diamond Street LLC is the listed owner.

The new building will replace a vacant lot, one among a quickly dwindling supply in the neighborhood. Two properties to the east, permits were issued for a five-unit building at 1829 West Diamond Street, also designed by KCA Design Associates, which YIMBY shared with readers back in February. Between the two projects, ten residential units are set be added to the block, a major density increase that is a a part of the neighborhood’s continued growth.
