After looking at developments spanning 100,000 to half a million square feet, Philadelphia YIMBY’s next category spotlight installment tracks new projects that feature anywhere from 50,000 to 100,000 square feet (or up to 99,999 square feet, to be precise). Buildings that fall into this range hold a capacity that is generally equivalent to anywhere from around 30 to 150 residential units. As such, the category primarily consists of smaller high-rise buildings in the under-15-story range, as well as mid-sized to rather large mid-rise developments. Please note that since the category was introduced only at the start of the year, it currently excludes articles published prior to this year.
