The new building will feature a modern exterior, nearly identical to other new buildings throughout the area.

The new building will be replacing a vacant lot, one of a wide variety in the surrounding neighborhood. This lot is nothing but a grassy lawn, like others on the block. However, the tandem line of vacant properties  are all soon to disappear. YIMBY has reported on projects on this block numerous times, More recently in October of 2021.

With this project and others on the block, Sharswood is poised to follow a narrative similar to that of neighboring Brewerytown, where vacant lots have disappeared at a rapid rate and been replaced with multi-family buildings and row homes. This resulted in a major boost to the area’s population and has filled in holes previously existing.

No completion date is known for the project at this time, though construction may be finished by 2023.
