Permits have been issued for the construction of a three-story single-family residential building at 1931 South Juniper Street in East Passyunk Crossing, South Philadelphia. The new building will replace a vacant lot situated on the east side of the block between Mifflin Street and Passyunk Avenue, and will offer 1,500 square feet of interior space. Permits list a development team comprised of Mifflin Street LLC as the owner, Here’s The Plan, LLC as the architect, and AMT Construction as the contractor.
The total construction cost is listed at $197,000, translating to an average cost of $131 per buildable interior square foot. The total includes $160,000 allocated for general construction work, $9,500 for electrical work, $10,500 for mechanical work, and $17,000 for plumbing work.

The proposed townhouse will rise from an irregular trapezoidal site measuring 26 feet wide. The street-facing facade will sport a masonry-styled base, a running bond brick facade, and a two-foot-deep panel-clad upper-floor cantilever (also sometimes referred to as a bay bump in the city’s zoning nomenclature), features that are quite common in new low-rise residential construction throughout Philadelphia.
The development makes for infill that will further densify an already urbane, highly walkable, and downright pleasant, in frank terms, neighborhood.
The Tasker Morris Station on the Broad Street subway line sits within a six-minute walk to the north of the proposed building. Route 4, 45, and 75 buses run within a short walk of the proposal site. A vibrant retail corridor is situated along Passyunk Avenue immediately to the south, with Art Deco-flaired, neon sign-adorned Pistolas Del Sur, a Mexican restaurant, situated adjacent to the site. Although the immediate surrounding area suffers from a relative dearth of green space, a sizable park at Marconi Plaza is situated within a 16-minut walk to the south.
