Architectural drawings depict a vertically organized residential building that aligns with the existing rowhouse context along North Van Pelt Street. The structure will span nearly the full width of the lot. The front elevation features regularly spaced windows upon a masonry-clad façade, while the rear elevation will face an alley with simpler articulation. Light wells will be incorporated into the building plan to provide daylight to interior spaces across multiple levels.

Zoning approvals for the project were issued in February 2025, establishing the size and location of the attached structure as shown in the approved plans. With zoning authorization now in place, the development at 1832 North Van Pelt Street offers the neighborhood the benefit of a conversion of a vacant parcel into active residential use.
