A recent site visit by Philly YIMBY has confirmed that construction has been completed at The Vine, a 24-unit condominium at 1723 Francis Street in Francisville (alternately Fairmount), North Philadelphia. Designed by Gnome Architects, developed by the Stamm Development Group, and constructed by PB+DC (Point Builders and Design Concepts), the project consists of a renovation of the front portion of an existing three-story prewar structure, demolition of its expansive rear section, and ground-up construction of a four-story annex. The complex spans 20,971 square feet and features 18 parking spaces in a ground-level garage. A shared roof deck offers green plantings, gathering and lounge space, and splendid views of the skylines of Center City, University City, and Temple University. Construction costs are listed at $1.26 million.

The Vine offers one- and two-bedroom apartments, elevator service, and a secure entrance. The property is situated two short blocks to the north of Fairmount Avenue and within an eight-minute walk to the northwest of the Fairmount Station on the Broad Street SEPTA Line.
The Vine is a positive addition to the rapidly-growing neighborhood that provides a significant volume of new condominiums in a structure that combines understated yet sophisticated new architecture, and preservation and adaptive reuse of the most attractive portion of the prewar building that previously stood at the site.
