Around the start of the year, permits were issued for the construction of a four-story, eight-unit mixed-use building at 2034 North Front Street in Kensington. At this time, nearly a year later, construction is well underway at the development, which replaces a vacant lot on the west side of the block between West Norris Street and Diamond Street, next to the Market-Frankford Line el. The structure will span 8,086 square feet, which translates to an average of around 1,000 square feet per apartment, and will feature 540 square feet of ground-level retail and a cellar. The roof deck will likely offer views of the skyline. Permits list the Estate of Anna Reinman as the owner, Christopher Carickhoff as the design professional, and V2 Properties Construction Management LLC as the contractor. Construction costs are specified at $1.38 million.

The development will be situated on the east side of the block between Aspen Street and Brown Street, near the boundary with the Mill Creek neighborhood to the west.

No floor count is specified, though the permit mentions a setback at the third floor, which, together with the surrounding housing stock, suggests a three-story height. BSC NC 1 LLC is the listed owner.
