A recent site visit by Philly YIMBY has revealed that construction has still not started at the site of a single-family dwelling proposed at 612 McKean Street in Wharton, South Philadelphia. The structure is set to rise three stories tall and feature a cellar and a roof deck. Permits list Hussein A. Kazan P.E. as the engineer.
Construction has been complete at a three-story, single-family rowhouse at 1831 South 4th Street in Wharton, South Philadelphia, as revealed by Philly YIMBY’s recent site visit. The structure replaces a vacant site at the northeast corner of Sough 4th and Sigel streets and includes a cellar and a roof deck, which likely offers open vistas due to the building’s relatively prominent height. Permits list Enam Abazi as the owner and Gezim Kupa as the contractor. The construction cost is specified at $120,000.
In December 2019, a permit has been issued for the construction of a three-story detached residential building at 612 McKean Street in Wharton, South Philadelphia. Since that time, more than two years later, construction has not yet started at the site, as revealed by our recent site visit. The permits describe the structure as offering 4,351 square feet. Notably, the permit contradicts itself as the description describes the proposal as a single-family residence while the field below lists the structure type as two-family. Shanika Wilson is listed as the owner and Tobias Stokes as the contractor. The cost of construction work is specified at $100,000.
YIMBY’s recent site visit reveals that a site has been cleared for the construction of a four-story, six-unit residential building at 1108-12 Sigel Street in Wharton, South Philadelphia. The project replaces a single-story, warehouse-style commercial structure on the south end of the block located between South 11th and South Sartain streets. The structure will include parking for four cars and 11 bicycles. The planned roof deck will likely offer dramatic skyline views, as the future building will tower above adjacent warehouses. Permits list Diantonio & Bongiovanni B. as the owners, Timothy Kerner as the design professional, and Diantonio & Bongiovanni LLC as the contractor, indicating that the structure will be constructed by the owner. Construction costs are specified at $600,000.
Philly YIMBY’s recent site visit has revealed that construction is well underway on a block-long, 58-unit complex at 620 Moore Street in Wharton, South Philadelphia. Designed by CANNOdesign, the primarily residential development will consist of three adjoining buildings, each rising four stories and spanning a site flanked by Moore Street to the north, South 6th Street to the east, and South 7th Street to the west. A 52-unit apartment building, articulated as separate independent structures, will span the majority of the site. At the street corners, two mixed-use buildings will each hold a commercial space at the ground floor and three residences on the floors above.
