A new residential project is moving forward at 3026 Titan Street in Grays Ferry, South Philadelphia, where permits have been issued for the construction of a three-story attached single-family dwelling on a vacant mid-block parcel. The site sits between South 30th Street and South 31st Street, along a predominantly residential block characterized by attached rowhouse development. Project records list Strategy Restaurant and C as the property owner, with architectural work attributed to the Scale Design Group.

Architectural drawings depict a rowhouse with a front elevation showing a raised entry accessed by exterior steps and a masonry-clad lower level and simplified upper-story massing. Window openings are arranged in a regular vertical pattern. The overall building height is indicated at approximately 36 feet, below the 38-foot maximum permitted by zoning. A flat roof with a parapet will cap the building.
With zoning and construction approvals now in place, the project at 3026 Titan Street will contribute new residential use to a previously undeveloped parcel within South Philadelphia’s established rowhouse fabric.
