By Vitali Ogorodnikov

Permits have been issued for the construction of a three-story, six-unit apartment building at 623 North 52nd Street in Mill Creek, West Philadelphia. The structure will rise from a vacant lot situated on the east side of the block between Wyalusing and Girard avenues and will span a footprint of 1,839 square feet. The planned interior area of 6,835 square feet translates to a relatively generous average of just over 1,100 square feet per unit. The attached structure of type VB construction will feature a cellar and roof decks, which will likely offer sweeping skyline views due to the building’s future prominence. Permits list Nicholas Coulter of KCA Design Associates as the architect and a construction cost of $833,000.

Last February, YIMBY shared the news of a permit issued for the construction of a single-family townhouse at 1532 South 7th Street in Passyunk Square in South Philadelphia. By now, almost a year later, the site has been transformed from an eyesore vacant lot into an imposing three-story structure, as our recent site visit revealed. Permits indicate that the structure spans a footprint of around 600 square feet and features a roof deck. The filings specify V2 Properties Entity 6 LL as the owner and V2 Properties Construction Management LLC as the contractor. A permit issued in late 2019 stated a construction cost of $150,000, although the later permit does not specify a construction cost.
