A recent site visit by Philadelphia YIMBY has observed that renovation work is complete at a former clothing factory and warehouse at 2501 Oakford Street in Grays Ferry, South Philadelphia. Designed by Stanev Potts Architects, the project adds a fifth floor to the hulking, dilapidated four-story structure and converts the interior into 54 residences and artist studios. The 8,397-square foot addition will boost the 52,420-square-foot structure to a total of 60,817 million, at a cost of $8.5 million in construction work. Permits list 25th and Oakford LLC as the owner and Reed Street Builders LLC as the contractor.

Looks great
Beautiful building!
Looks nice, but area is still sketchy as hell and that CMX train at night will make your life a living hell and keep you up. Also, there is no bars/restaurants aside from like Dock Street within a reasonable walking distance as well as shops and corner stores.
I just don’t see the appeal of living there.
