Trolley service is planned to return to the Richmond and Westmoreland Street loop in Port Richmond, Kensington, after a long hiatus due to construction. The loop is the terminus of the route 15 line, which runs primarily along Girard Avenue from Kensington through North Philadelphia and on to West Philadelphia.
New permits have been issued for a four-story, seven-unit structure planned at 428-38 Master Street in Olde Kensington. The update adds an extra apartment to the earlier plan, which YIMBY shared in January. The development will offer seven car spaces, one for each residential unit. A roof deck will be located at the top of the structure. Construction costs are estimated at $1,246,000.
Permits have been issued for the construction of three mixed-use buildings at 918-80 North Delaware Avenue in Northern Liberties, North Philadelphia. Designed by HDO Architecture, the development will feature 462 residential units spread across five buildings, with a sixth structure holding building amenities. Permits were recently issued for Building A, Building B, and Building D. Each will rise seven stories and feature a green roof.
Permits have been issued for the construction of a three-story, nine-unit multi-family building at 712-14 North Preston Street in Belmont, West Philadelphia. The structure will hold a total of 3,568 square feet of floor space. Construction costs for the project are estimated at $1,030,000.
Completion approaches at The Summit House, a four-story, 64-unit residential development at 610 Summit Avenue in Jenkintown, a municipality located just to the north of Philadelphia. Designed by Kitchen And Associates, the project will include a commercial space and 64 parking spaces, both located on the ground floor, and will feature affordable senior housing. Tester Construction is building the structure.
