The approved plans call for the development of a two-story attached structure, set to span 1,645 square feet. The lot measures 686 square feet, with a building footprint of 548 square feet. A 138-square-foot rear yard will provide private open space. The building will be fully sprinklered throughout.
The building will feature a flat roof and a traditional brick façade, consistent with the surrounding rowhouse context. The design includes a front-facing entry and window openings aligned vertically, offering a straightforward residential profile. The structure is classified as R-3 occupancy for single-family household living.
The development is part of a coordinated project that includes 2316 Greenwich Street, an adjacent single-family dwelling planned and designed in tandem with 2318 Greenwich Street.
No timeline for construction has been announced at this time.

Very nice to have a visually appealing brick facade along this very narrow one-way one-lane street (too narrow for any trees).
There is no off-street parking and you do not want to park on the sidewalk because your vehicle might get swiped by passing traffic.
This is a row house of interconnected buildings.
SEPTA bus routes 7 (23rd Street) and 29 (Tasker Street (to the shopping area at Pier 70)) will serve the residents.
There are nearby parks and playgrounds within a reasonable walking distance.
Philadelphia requires fire sprinkler systems for new residential construction with three or more units. Sprinklers are also mandatory for new rowhouses. However, new, detached or semi-detached single-family homes are not required to have them.
