Philly YIMBY’s recent site visit has noted that construction work is complete at a four-story, 15-unit multi-family development at 825-27 Bainbridge Street in Bella Vista, South Philadelphia. Designed by Ambit Architecture, the building spans 19,200 square feet and will include five bicycle spaces. Construction costs are specified at $3.2 million.

The industrial-styled building is one of the most attractive new developments built in recent years. Its sparse yet sophisticated loft-styled facade boasts surprising attention to detail, with a broad arched entryway, paneled arched windows, alternating horizontal brick courses, and a roof gable with a gently corbelled cornice, which, barely noticeably, appears to withdraw into the structure toward the pinnacle. Most notable is the rusticated red brick, which showcases a texture and tonal variation that may pass for an authentic historic product.

This is a welcome replacement for the industrial warehouse/art building that featured rotating murals. Lily Developemnt has done a masterful job at integrating a large residential complex into the best neighborhood in Philadelphia. It truly looks as if it has been there all along.
