A recent site visit by Philly YIMBY has revealed that construction is complete at a seven-unit mixed-use building at 3951 Lancaster Avenue in Mantua, West Philadelphia. The building is projected to rise four stories tall, with a commercial space to be located on the ground floor and residential units above. The building will also feature a roof deck. In total, the structure is expected to yield 10,700 square feet of interior space and cost an estimated $1.25 million to build.

A mini Flatiron for the neighborhood to enjoy.
This should’ve been at least 20 stories higher. When will this city get over its fear of heights?
Imagine a city of delightful rowhouses with architectural detailing, or a city of modernist blocks with storefront bottoms. Seems like DAS could have made a few slight tweaks and overtures to give just a little acknowledgement to the neighborhood they are shoehorning this
behemoth into. Just a bit if charm, residential nods.
Who will be living in these units?
A welcomed addition to that section of Lancaster. There were two shootings in at least the last year nearby. My only regret is that I wish it were taller.
