A recent site visit by Philadelphia YIMBY has observed no development progress of any sort at 21M, a 350-foot-tall mixed-use tower proposed at 2100 Market Street, a dormant avant-garde project proposed in Center City West. Originally developed by the Brandywine Realty Trust, the development has sat on the drawing boards for several years, with the latest, 350-foot-tall design crafted by Edry McHenry Architects.
A recent site visit by Philadelphia YIMBY has observed that construction work has not yet begun at a 60-unit mixed-use building at 2213-33 North Front Street in East Kensington. Designed by Cadre Design, the structure will rise seven stories and will include commercial space on the ground floor.
In March, Philly YIMBY reported that permits were issued for the construction of a six-story, 31-unit mixed-use development at 2112 North Front Street in Norris Square. Designed by DesignBlendz, the structure will span 27,519 square feet and feature commercial space at the ground floor and a green roof at the top.

Philly YIMBY’s recent site visit has observed that construction is almost complete at a five-story, 21-unit mixed-use building at 2000 North Front Street in Fishtown. The structure will rise at the northwest corner of Front and Norris streets, replacing a dilapidated and boarded-up three-story prewar building. The development will offer 22,992 square feet of interior space, which will include a commercial component. Features include full sprinkling and a roof deck, which will likely offer sweeping skyline views due to the structure’s relative prominence. Permits list Dr. Jerry Ginsberg as the owner, KCA Design Associates as the architect, and Tota Builders, Inc. [sic] as the contractor. Construction costs are specified at $710,000.
