Cleared Lot Awaits Construction of Nine Townhouses at 316-20 South 11th Street in Washington Square West, Center City

7:00 am on February 11, 2022 By Vitali Ogorodnikov

Last October, Philadelphia YIMBY reported on the demolition of a three-story prewar parking garage to make way for a nine-unit townhouse development at 316-20 South 11th Street in Washington Square West, Center City. Although construction permits have been filed in November, our recent site visit has revealed that construction work has not yet begun on the development. According to permits, all nine buildings will be fairly similar, if not altogether identical. Each will span a 1,241-square-foot footprint and offer 4,589 square feet of space, which would make for a regal interior in any part of the city, let alone such a centrally located one. Permits list OCF Construction as the contractor.

No Progress Yet at Scaled-Down Broad+Pine at 337-41 South Broad Street in Washington Square West, Center City

8:00 am on January 31, 2022 By Vitali Ogorodnikov

Progress continues to stall at Broad + Pine, one of the most promising yet fickle developments on South Broad Street. After having already gone through several major design revisions over the past few years, the high-rise planned at the northeast corner of Broad and Pine Streets at 337-41 South Broad Street (better known as 337 South Broad Street) in Washington Square West, Center City, has recently seen yet another major redesign. Designed by My Arch and developed by Dranoff Properties (which is also behind the Arthaus tower half a block to the north), the proposal has been reduced in scale down from 28 to 15 stories, though its residential unit count has increased from 56 to 91 units. Still, even after the design revision, no construction permits have yet been filed nor has demolition started on the three-story low-rise structure at the site, as revealed by YIMBY’s latest site visit.
