A recent site visit by Philadelphia YIMBY has revealed that significant construction progress has been made at The Port at Aramingo, a four-story, 11-unit apartment complex at 801-11 Aramingo Avenue in Fishtown, Kensington.

The complex will offer two studios, five one-bedroom, three two-bedroom, and one three-bedroom apartments.
