Permits have been issued for the construction of a three-story, three-unit residential building at 707 North 35th Street in Mantua, West Philadelphia. The attached structure will will span 2,876 square feet and include a cellar, rear balcony, and a roof deck. Permits specify Phillips & Associates Architects LLC as the architect and Yona Construction LLC as the contractor.
Construction costs are indicated at $400,000; the figure includes $350,000 for general construction and $50,000 for excavation.
The development will replace a vacant lot near Fairmount Avenue. Zoning drawings place the property within an RM-1 residential district. The site spans approximately 1,518 square feet, measuring 104 feet long and 14-and-a-half feet wide. The proposed building will occupy approximately 1,054 square feet, or 69.9 percent of the lot, leaving 463 square feet of open space. A backyard will extend 27 feet between the building and rear rear property line.

Architectural elevations depict a three-story structure with a relatively simple street-facing façade featuring paired rectangular windows on the second and third floors. The ground floor includes a window and an entrance reached by exterior stairs and a raised landing. Drawings also illustrate a cantilevered bay projecting above the ground-floor level. The rear elevation shows an elevated deck with a 42-inch-high guardrail and an exterior stairway leading down toward the rear yard, as well as a cellar egress well.
The building will rise to a roof height of 35-and-a-half feet, with a 79-square-foot pilot house providing stair access to a deck set back five feet from the front building line.
The property is situated in Mantua, north of University City and near the Haverford Avenue corridor. The route 31 bus serves the vicinity along North 35th Street and Fairmount Avenue, and the route 43 bus runs along Haverford Avenue.
