Permits have been issued for the construction of a four-story, ten-unit residential building at 1903 West Erie Avenue in Nicetown-Tioga, North Philadelphia. The building will span 10,000 square feet of new construction. Erie Street Associates LLC is the project developer. AIMES LLC is listed as the contractor. Designblendz Architecture is responsible for the designs.
The total construction cost is listed at $1.5 million.
The site plan shows a long rectangular building footprint extending back from West Erie Avenue, with the proposed building placed between existing three-story buildings at 1901 West Erie Avenue and 1909 West Erie Avenue. The plan also shows a rear yard, wood fencing, an existing street tree, and an architectural embellishment projecting near the frontage.
