When YIMBY last visited the site in May of last year, the structure had only begun to rise above ground level, with the concrete cores standing several stories high. By now, the structure has largely been assembled and the windows have been installed. Although facade work has not yet begun, the exterior already starts to resemble the renderings, where vertical window bays add a pleasant touch of verticality to the hulking, predominantly horizontal structure.

4519 Chestnut Street stands on the north side of the block between South 45th and South 46th streets, in a rapidly developing neighborhood that, in effect, acts as an expansion of adjacent University City. The route 21 bus line runs along Chestnut Street, and the 46th Street Station on the Market-Frankford Line is situated on Market Street around two blocks to the northwest.
