A recent site visit by Philly YIMBY has observed continued construction progress at a multi-building mixed-use development at 918 North Delaware Avenue in Northern Liberties, North Philadelphia. Designed by L2Partridge and developed by Core Realty, the development, also known as 918-80 North Delaware Avenue, will consist of five seven-story buildings as well as a smaller single-story structure. The complex will hold a total of 418,480 square feet of space and include 426 residential units.

The complex will be a significant addition to the rapidly developing neighborhood along the Delaware River waterfront, which has seen numerous grand proposals over the past few decades yet little actual development. We hope that the pace of construction at the site picks up in the near future.

The complex will bring much-needed residential density and pedestrian activity to a long-neglected yet rapidly developing stretch of the Delaware River waterfront, helping bridge the gap between the river and the booming interior of Northeast Northern Liberties.

426 units is fantastic. I would have liked to see a lot more, but like you said, this one is actually getting built.
This will be a game changer as more people occupy the buildings.
Does anyone know if there are future plans for the green space behind it or it will always be a park?
Who’s these houses being built for. What income level.
In most cases $85k+ for a single earner, assuming rents start around ~$2000/month.
CORRECTION: This development is by GY Properties with designs by Harman Deutsch Ohler Architecture. L2 Partridge was involved only with an earlier (2017) conceptual design involving a different developer.
