Philly YIMBY’s recent site visit has noted that construction work is underway at a three-story, two-unit mixed-use building at 1315 Bainbridge Street in Hawthorne, South Philadelphia. The new building will rise as a vertical extension of a single-story commercial structure (currently home to a pizzeria), which will be partially demolished. Designed by Heta Designs, the building will span 1,746 square feet. Permits list Merit Properties as the contractor.

I’ve seen developments like this throughout the city where apartments are added above other food establishments.
This is a much nicer looking neighborhood than the previous development published, however; I have noticed no parking for this retrofit because it is located at the corner of Bainbridge and Clarion Streets (which means you will be walking no matter what (rain, snow, etc.).
Will Gennaro’s Pizzeria stay in business?
The proximity to the Lombard-South station (Broad Street Line) as well as the 45 bus along 12th and 11th streets is nice. 🚍
Just under on mile from City Hall is very nice.
This is for certain people who don’t drive.
