Work is rapidly progressing on a 65-unit mixed-use development situated at 5013 Springfield Avenue in Kingsessing, Southwest Philadelphia. Designed by Ambit Architecture and developed by the Metropolitan Group, the building rises five stories tall with a commercial space on the ground floor, with residential units above. A fresh food market is slated for the retail space.
Renderings have been revealed for 625 West Girard Avenue, a 49-unit mixed-use development in Ludlow, North Philadelphia. Philly YIMBY first shared news of the development last August, when permits were issued for the structure’s construction. Developed by Rock Development, the building will rise six stories tall.
Permits have been issued for the construction of a four-unit multi-family structure at 2431 North Hancock Street in West Kensington. Upon completion, the building will rise three stories tall. A roof deck will be situated at the top of the building and will be made accessible via a roof deck access structure. Total floor space within the building will measure 3,917 square feet. According to the permit, construction costs for the project are estimated at $205,000.
Just yesterday, YIMBY shared a construction update for 1620 Sansom Street in Rittenhouse Square, Center City, showing that the garage has been fully demolished. Coincidentally, later that same day, commercial building permits were issued for the tower, the last legal hurdle before the tower can rise. Interestingly, based on the permits, the development appeared to have been upgraded with a slightly larger height and additional residential units. While initial proposals stated that the tower would rise 27 stories tall, permits show the number has been increased to 28, with an increase in residential unit count from 298 to 306. Commercial space will still be situated on the ground floor. The permit lists the floor space at 376,500 square feet and construction costs estimated at $73.9 million.
Work is underway on 4442 Ridge Avenue, a 136-unit mixed-use development located in East Falls, Northwest Philadelphia. YIMBY first shared the development with readers in January, when permits were issued for the building’s construction. Designed by HDO Architecture, the 174,544-square-foot structure will rise six stories tall, with a commercial space on the ground floor fronting Ridge Avenue.
