Permits have been issued for the construction of a townhouse complex at 2600-40 East Hagert Street in Olde Richmond, Kensington. Designed by Harman Deutsch Ohler Architecture and developed by Streamline, the project will consist of 11 homes. Each will rise four stories tall and contain just under 2,600 square feet of interior space. Costs are estimated at $289,592 per townhouse.
Demolition activity has begun at 1130 North Delaware Avenue, the site of a planned ten-story, 244-unit development in Fishtown, Kensington. Designed by Varenhorst Architects and developed by Streamline, the project will face the Delaware River across the avenue and will include parking for 49 vehicles and 102 bicycles, as well as public space on the west side of the building. At the moment, a single-story furniture store with a large parking lot occupies the site.
North Liberty Triangle, a six-story, 84-unit residential development is in progress at 1102-48 North 2nd Street. The development rises in the northern section of Northern Liberties, one of the most active development zones in North Philadelphia and in the entire city. The project, developed by Streamline, consists of a series of mid-rise buildings standing up to six stories, situated on an irregular site between North 2nd Street, Germantown Avenue, and Girard Avenue.
Delaware Avenue is a major thoroughfare running along the eponymous Delaware River (though certain sections feature different names). Large stretches of the street are either industrial, either presently or formerly, or largely suburban, with massive shopping centers and parking lots, though the city has long planned to transform it into a dense urban corridor. Now, these dreams appear on the verge of becoming a reality, with a large number of proposals planned for the avenue. Some could be very far out, though others may see a shovel in the ground before the leaves turn. YIMBY takes you on a tour of all of the biggest proposed developments.
