A new two-story single-family home project is moving forward at 2316 Greenwich Street in Point Breeze, South Philadelphia. The site is located just off South 24th Street and is surrounded by 23rd Street and Cross Street, on a rowhouse-lined block. The project is designed by LC Architecture (Living City Architecture) and developed by Fine Print Construction.
Construction costs are listed at $150,000, including expenses for general work, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems.

Located between two existing rowhouse, the structure will be attached on both sides. The lot measures 686 square feet, with the building itself covering 548 square feet. No side or front yard setbacks are required, and the home will include a rear yard measuring just under 10 feet deep.
Plans show a building height of just over 24 feet, staying well below local height limits. The interior will span approximately 1,645 square feet across two stories and a basement level. Renderings include stair access between floors and a rear egress well for the lower level.
The project was recently approved for both zoning and construction permits.

The zoning plan indicates “coordinated construction” of 2316 and 2318 Greenwich St., both two-story single family homes. Although there has been a whole bunch of rehab on the 2300 block of Greenwich, there are still 14 vacant lots. Now there will be twelve (bottles of beer on the wall).
Almost all new construction is at least three floors so these homes should be relatively affordable.
There is not a spark of greenery on the block — no street trees, window boxes, planters, rooftop shrubs or visible indoor plants. And cars are illegally parked on the north sidewalk, blocking pedestrian movement.
Another development void of any off-street parking for the residents.
All buildings on this block are connected, making this feel confined.
If you don’t drive, then you’ll feel quite content in this nice looking neighborhood.
The Broad Street Line (Tasker-Morris station) is only a mile to the east.
I would be interested in seeing some renderings. 😁
