A recent site visit by Philadelphia YIMBY has revealed that renovation and construction work is underway at a mixed-use adaptive reuse development at 7208-10 Germantown Avenue in Mount Airy, Northwest Philadelphia. Designed by Bright Common Architecture & Design, the project will see the existing three-story building receive a two-story overbuild, as well as an adjacent five-story addition at the rear. The renovated development will span 21,423 square feet of interior space and feature commercial space on the ground floor facing Germantown Avenue, as well as 19 rental apartments situated above. The development will include parking for seven bicycles. Construction costs are listed at $2.1 million.

Bravo!
Last I recall, it was under discussion early 2019. Now under construction.
Only 7 bicycles??
See? You CAN get the desired density AND preserve the existing streetscape!
