Last July, Philly YIMBY shared the plans for a mixed-use development at 1100 Wharton Street in Passyunk Square, South Philadelphia. Designed by JKRP Architects and developed by the Alterra Property Group, the complex is anchored with a new six-story, 162,335-square-foot building with a 20,000-squarte-foot supermarket at the ground floor, 155 residential units, and a 4,000-square-foot roof deck. The development will also include a thorough rehabilitation of the block, which is also home to Wharton Lofts, a 71,360-square-foot mixed-use building with 45 residential units, a 51,010-square-foot office building, and 18,616-square-foot police station, and a fire station. The fire station, located at the northeast corner of South 12th Street and Reed Street, across from Columbus Square Park, will be demolished and relocated into a new building on the east side of the block at the intersection of South 11th and Reed streets; the six-story mixed-use building will rise in place of the fire station. In total, the block will hold 239 parking spaces, with 62 in the basement level of the mixed-use building, 94 surface spaces in the center of the block, and 83 off-site spaces. Recently YIMBY has visited the development site and extensively documented its existing conditions to share with our readers.

Philadelphia YIMBY Tracks Projects Ranging from 100,000 to Half-Million Square Feet

7:00 am on April 5, 2022 By Vitali Ogorodnikov

Last month, Philadelphia YIMBY discussed new article categories that were introduced at the start of the year. Among those were categories that grouped new proposals by residential unit count, where we dedicated an article to each of the groups. However, at the time we also introduced a similar category tracking method, where we catalog buildings by square footage. Although this may sound like a similar measurement technique, the square footage categories are more broad as they also include non-residential developments. In today’s installment of our “category spotlight” series, we focus on projects that range from 100,000 to half a million square feet. This category is largely comprised of relatively large mid-and high-rise developments. Please note that since the category was introduced only at the start of the year, it currently excludes articles published prior to this year.

Over the course of the past year, Philly YIMBY featured sustained coverage of the seven-story mixed-use building planned at 922 North Broad Street in Francisville, North Philadelphia, and with good reason.
