A recent location visit by Philadelphia YIMBY has observed that construction work is nearing completion at a four-story, 42-unit mixed-use residential and commercial project at 1429-31 Federal Street in Point Breeze, South Philadelphia. The development rises on the north side of the block between South Broad Street and South 15th Street. Designed by Vincent Mancini, the development will span 34,668 square feet and feature retail space at the ground floor, a green roof, and parking for 14 bicycles. Permits list Top Gun Enterprises as the contractor and specify a construction cost of $3.8 million.

The new building is notable for its astute black-trimmed and paneled sash windows; attractive, context-friendly red brick cladding on the ground floor; and an off-white horizontal treatment on the floors above, which alternates with black-paneled vertical sections (two of which cantilever above the street).
The development at 1429-31 Federal Street stands at a prime site half a block west of the Ellsworth-Federal Station on the Broad Street Line, and could have easily accommodated a building with a much greater height and residential unit count than the one being built at this time. However, we still look forward to further construction progress on the development.
