A recent site visit by Philly YIMBY has noted continued construction progress at Broad and Washington, a 15-story, 1,111-unit complex at 1001 South Broad Street in Hawthorne, South Philadelphia. Designed by the BKV Group, the development will span an entire city block at the northeast corner of the intersection of Broad Street and Washington Avenue. The 1,516,218-square-foot project will cost nearly $306 million to build.

The development brings notable change block as one of the most significant mid-rise residential structures to go up on what was previously an all-commercial stretch. The Ellsworth-Federal Station on the Broad Street subway line sits within a few short blocks to the south, and the Lombard-South Station is situated within a slightly longer distance to the north.

When are they going to start construction on the back half of the development on 13th Street, if it is going to take up the entire block?
@bobby I think it’s technically a separate phase of the same projection. Won’t break ground until the first portion currently going up is complete. In my mind it’s not guaranteed that it will go up immediately, but that’s just a guess.
Chd, that is correct. One Thousand One South Broad Street is phase one of a three-phase project.
Phase one includes 600 apartments (out of a total of 1,487 for the three phases) and 50,000 square feet of retail (out of a total of 65,000 square feet for the three phase project). Located on the western section of the block bound by Broad St. east, 13th St. west, Washington Ave. south, and Carpenter St. north, it is the only phase under construction.
The posted renderings show phases one and two, but not phase three, which is located east across 13th St.
See yesterday’s comment for a listing of the project’s host of enticing amenities.
I am surprised you don’t have pics of the Broad Street side of the building, it looks like the facade is almost complete on that side.
