Designed by Ambit Architecture, the new building will rise three stories tall and hold 30 residential units, as well as underground parking for 11 cars and 14 bicycles. A roof deck will be located at the top of the building, offering amenity space for residents.
Permits have been issued for the construction of a multi-family building at 650 North 38th Street in Mantua, West Philadelphia. Designed by KCA Design Associates, the new building will rise three stories tall and span 3,980 square feet, which will hold three apartments. A pilot house at the top of the structure will provide access to a roof deck, which will offer sweeping views of the nearby University City skyline. Construction costs are listed at $450,000 to build.

There will be 36 residential units in total, with ten bike spaces and 13 parking spaces also included. In total, the square footage of the building will more than double, increasing to 37,566.
