Construction Tops Out at 721-23 North 16th Street in Fairmount, Lower North Philadelphia

A recent site visit by Philly YIMBY has revealed significant construction progress at a five-story, ten-unit apartment building at 721-23 North 16th Street in Fairmount, Lower North Philadelphia. The structure rises on the east side of the block between Swain and Brown streets, in an area that may also be described as Francisville. Designed by M Architects / Morrissey Design, the project will hold a total of 11,048 square feet of interior space, which translates to an average of around 1,100 square feet per unit. The building will feature an elevator, a cellar, and a roof deck, which will likely offer sweeping skyline views due to the building’s prominent height. Permits list Mountfair Assoc. [sic] as the owner and Regis Development Corp. as the contractor. Construction costs are specified at $725,000.

Looking at the 114-Unit Development Proposed at 7619 Germantown Avenue in Mount Airy, Northwest Philadelphia

8:00 am on October 20, 2021 By Vitali Ogorodnikov

Urban development is a delicate balancing act, and sometimes we must say goodbye to cherished local destinations in order to make way for a plan that is ultimately more beneficial to the community and to the city at large. One of such trade-offs is slated to occur at 7619 Germantown Avenue in Mount Airy, Northwest Philadelphia, where the Trolley Car Diner is set to meet the wrecking ball, to be replaced by a six-story, mixed-use residential development designed by Morrissey Design. Although the charming chrome, neon, mural, and freestanding trolley of the diner will be missed, the proposal at hand makes for more effective use of the site, bringing significant residential density within a two0-block walk of the Mount Airy Station of the SEPTA Regional Rail and replacing the auto-centric restaurant with pedestrian-friendly retail.
