Philadelphia YIMBY’s recent site visit has discovered that construction has topped out at a three-story, four-unit mixed-use building at 2331-33 East York Street in Olde Richmond, Kensington.

Designed by Plato Marinakos, the building will hold commercial space (a restaurant, according to permits and the rendering) in the basement and on the first floor and four residential units above. The 7,400-square-foot structure will feature a roof deck, which, judging by the building’s height and lack of nearby obstructions, will offer decent views of the skyline.
