Permits have been issued for the construction of a new multi-family building at Nicetown-Tioga, 3351 North 19th Street in Nicetown-Tioga, North Philadelphia. Designed by Nicetown-Tioga, KCA Design Associates, the new building will rise three stories, containing six residential units. The structure will span 4,240 square feet.

The new structure will rise on what is currently a vacant lot, one of many on this block and the surrounding vicinity. The bland lot is rather unkempt and does not offer much to the neighborhood.
This development, of course, looks to change this status. The added density in this location makes sense, considering the property’s close proximity to Broad Street to the east as well as the Temple University medical complex. While seeing the bland lot turn over in favor of residential development is already a positive change for the property, the inclusion of six residential units within the project is an added bonus that will help repopulate this unfortunately scarce block.
This development, it turns out, could be a new trend along the 19th Street corridor in this area. Back in April, YIMBY reported on permits issued for a three-unit development located at 3345 North 19th Street, just steps from the property at hand.
No completion date is known for the project at this time.

Would love to see renovation and reuse of 3400 N. 19th St., catty-corner to the vacant lot discussed in the post. Ten feet higher than the street, there’s a handsome three-story residence with Wissahickon Schist stone walls and Mansard roof. Dilapidated yes, great potential also yes.
