A new commercial development is planned at 624 Snyder Avenue in South Philadelphia, where permits have been issued for the construction of a three-story attached structure. The project replaces existing buildings on the site and will introduce new office space within a CMX-2 zoned corridor. The project is being designed by Toner Architects. Construction will be carried out by MMB Contractors Inc. The property is owned by 624-628 Snyder LLC.
Construction costs are listed at approximately $665,000.

Permit filings indicate that the building will be used for business and professional office occupancy, with approximately 8,502 square feet of new construction. The structure will include office space across the ground floor, second floor, third floor, and basement levels, reflecting a full-building commercial program. The permit also classifies the project as shell construction, with separate permits required for interior mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire suppression systems.

Plans show a three-story wood-frame structure constructed over reinforced concrete foundations, classified as Type V-B construction. The building will include a roof deck accessed from the third floor, along with an elevator override structure above the roofline. Zoning drawings indicate a total building height of approximately 34 feet and 5 inches to the highest point of the roof.

Site plans confirm that the development will occupy a consolidated lot spanning 624 through 628 Snyder Avenue, with a total lot area of approximately 2,964 square feet. The project maintains the required open space ratio and introduces a rear yard depth exceeding minimum zoning requirements. No off-street parking is proposed.

Interesting proposal.
A small scale office building across the street from a community swimming pool is interesting.
As with offices, the lack of parking is going to be a challenge for any business owner.
The diagrams are good.
