Work Stalled at Three-Story Mixed-Use Building Proposed at 1319-23 Schuylkill Avenue in Grays Ferry, South Philadelphia

Philly YIMBY’s recent site visit has revealed an apparently complete work halt at the site of the three-story mixed-use building proposed at 1319-23 Schuylkill Avenue in the Forgotten Bottom section of Grays Ferry in South Philadelphia, near the Schuylkill River waterfront.
