A year and a half after YIMBY originally shared news of permit issue, our latest site visit has discovered that construction has still not started at a six-story, 102-unit residential building proposed at 2401 North 2nd Street in West Kensington. The project will span a half-block-sized lot bordered by North 2nd Street to the west, West York Street to the south, and Palethorp Street to the east. Designed by T + Associates Architects, the structure will span 101,020 square feet feature a roof deck, and a green roof, and a parking garage. Permits specify construction costs at $8.35 million.

Our site visit found the property cleared and the lot fenced in, yet construction does not appear to have started yet. We hope to see a proximate acceleration of development at the site, considering the improvement it will constitute for the neighborhood’s urban fabric.
