Permits have been issued for the construction of a one-story structure at 502 West Glenwood Avenue, located in the Glenwood section of North Philadelphia. The project will use a long-vacant lot at the corner of North 5th Street and Glenwood Avenue. DOTS Design Up LLC is listed as the contractor for the development, while the permit holder is Victor G.

The scope of work outlines a single-story office space built with brick veneer and topped by a flat roof. The façade will boast of fixed glass panels within a black anodized aluminum frame and a storefront system fabricated with insulated glass. The structure is designed as a wood-frame building atop reinforced concrete footings.

The project site spans an area of 968 square feet. The office building will be set back from the sidewalk and surrounded by an existing six-foot metal fence. The adjacent site will be used as a car lot with five dedicated parking spaces, meeting the required minimum. Accessory parking includes one ADA-compliant space.
The design embraces a minimalist aesthetic, emphasizing transparency and strong exterior materials appropriate for compact commercial structures.

Although the original zoning application was denied in April 2023—citing violations for rear yard setbacks and accessory parking locations—the project was later granted zoning approval following plan revisions and variance procedures. The updated site plan was approved by the Department of Licenses and Inspections in early 2024.
No construction timeline has been revealed yet.
