A residential conversion has been approved at 1222-24 Annin Street in Passyunk Square, South Philadelphia. The project will turn an existing prewar industrial structure into a multi-family building. Upon completion, the development will hold three residential units.
Permits have been issued for a residential conversion for the iconic Delaware Generating Station, located at 1325 Beach Street on the Delaware River waterfront in Fishtown. The project calls for alterations to the massive abandoned structure and creation of 216 rental residential units. The renovation area will span 235,204 square feet of space. The construction cost is listed at $29,671,303.
Completion approaches at The Poplar, a renovation project in progress at 900 North 9th Street in Poplar, North Philadelphia. Designed by Cosica Moos Architecture, which is responsible for exterior as well as interior design, and developed by the Post Brothers, the 400,000-square-foot project transforms the 11-story Quaker Building, a factory loft built in 1918, into a 285-unit residential building. The redevelopment adds a striking new color to the exterior, a rooftop amenity deck, and units that come in multiple sizes.
Renovations are planned for International House, a 14-story, 221,000-square-foot building at 3701 Chestnut Street in University City, West Philadelphia. The Brutalist building’s number of residential units will rise from the current 346 to 400, and a grocery store will take up the ground floor. A new 14-story wing will be built on the side of the property fronting Chestnut Street, replacing a plaza. The developer, CSC Co-Living, has secured a $33 million loan for the project.
The Family Court Building at 1801 Vine Street in Center City’s Logan Square area was designed by John T. Widrim and W.R. Morton Keast and built between 1938 and 1941. In 2014, the Philadelphia Family Court moved out and the Peebles Corporation purchased the building with plans to convert it into a 220-room Journal Hotel. The hotel will span 250,000 square feet and feature a roof terrace, lounge area and spa. In addition to the hotel, Peebles is also considering options for some office space within the development.
