Construction is well in progress at The Locks, located at 4590 Riverside Way at the Venice Island waterfront in Manayunk. The project includes 63 townhomes with square footage ranging from 2,100 to 3,500 feet. The project, designed by Varenhorst, is replacing what was once an overgrown vacant lot.
A permit has been issued for the construction of a four-story structure at 6552 Germantown Avenue in Mount Airy. The building will consist of 10 residential units. It will have easy access to the Chestnut Hill West regional rail line and fronts the busy and frequent 23 bus route. The current site houses a once-attractive row of three homes with vacant retail spaces on the first floor. Those structures are now crumbling and are are possibly no longer salvageable.
