A zoning permit has been issued for the construction of a new single-family dwelling at 2106 North 16th Street in North Philadelphia. The project site is a vacant lot situated mid-block along the corridor and is zoned RM-1, which allows for attached residential development. Civetta Property Group is the project developer. Moto Designshop is the architect. Spruce Builders LLC is the contractor.
Permit filings indicate a total construction cost of approximately $129,050. Of that total, $94,050 is attributed to general construction, with additional costs allocated to plumbing, mechanical, and electrical work.

The approved scope calls for the erection of a three-story attached structure designed for single-family household living. The building will be constructed as Type V-B and will be fully sprinklered. The total construction area is listed at approximately 1,478 square feet. Zoning documents indicate the structure will rise to a height of approximately 33 feet, remaining below the maximum permitted height of 38 feet. The building will occupy roughly 548 square feet of the 1,216-square-foot lot and will include a rear yard extending over 40 feet in depth, as shown in the approved plans.
Architectural drawings depict a straightforward vertical layout typical of attached rowhouse construction. The front elevation is aligned with the property line and features a restrained façade with evenly spaced window openings and minimal projection. Interior sections show stacked residential floors organized along a central circulation path, with entry provided from North 16th Street via a front stair.
