Last year in May, permits had been issued for a commercial renovation and vertical expansion for a three-story prewar building at 725-29 South Broad Street in Hawthorne, South Philadelphia. Since that time, however, no construction progress has been made on the structure, as Philly YIMBY’s recent site visit has shown. Designed by CANNOdesign, the structure, located on the east side of South Broad Street on the block between Bainbridge and Fitzwater streets, will rise five stories. Permits list Santech Construction Corp. as the contractor and a construction cost of $3.8 million.

Philadelphia YIMBY Catalogs Development Spanning from 50K to 100K Square Feet

7:00 am on April 6, 2022 By Vitali Ogorodnikov

After looking at developments spanning 100,000 to half a million square feet, Philadelphia YIMBY’s next category spotlight installment tracks new projects that feature anywhere from 50,000 to 100,000 square feet (or up to 99,999 square feet, to be precise). Buildings that fall into this range hold a capacity that is generally equivalent to anywhere from around 30 to 150 residential units. As such, the category primarily consists of smaller high-rise buildings in the under-15-story range, as well as mid-sized to rather large mid-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.

Philly YIMBY Considers an Alternate Layout for The Frankford at 1120 Frankford Avenue in Fishtown

7:30 am on March 13, 2022 By Vitali Ogorodnikov

Earlier this month, Philadelphia YIMBY published a detailed overview of The Frankford, a six-story, 150-unit mixed-use residential and retail development planned at 1120 Frankford Avenue (alternately 1120-36 Frankford Avenue) in Fishtown, Kensington. Designed by BLT Architects and developed by US Construction, the attractive Neo-Idustrial structure will create 7,166 square feet of ground-level retail and 83,372 square feet of residential space, contributing a significant volume of housing stock and a vibrant retail-fronted streetscape to the neighborhood. However, despite the positive impact the proposal promises to deliver, it arguably suffers from a squat, sprawling massing, which was likely crafted as a response to the neighborhood’s unreasonably low height limit. In this publication, YIMBY shares an alternate project layout of our own, which shows how a less restrictive zoning envelope would allow for a more organic relationship to the street, improved unit layouts, creation of new public space, improved pedestrian circulation,and even preservation of a locally beloved mural.
