A recent site visit by Philly YIMBY has observed sustained construction progress at a four-story, eight-unit mixed-use building at 2034 North Front Street in Kensington. The development replaces a vacant lot on the west side of the block between West Norris Street and Diamond Street, and rises next to the elevated Market-Frankford Line. The structure will span 8,086 square feet, which translates to an average of around 1,000 square feet per apartment, and feature 540 square feet of ground-level retail and a cellar. The roof deck will likely offer views of the skyline. Permits list the Estate of Anna Reinman as the owner, Christopher Carickhoff as the design professional, and V2 Properties Construction Management LLC as the contractor.

Construction Remains Stalled at Bloc24 at 613 South 24th Street in Graduate Hospital, South Philadelphia

7:30 am on July 5, 2023 By Vitali Ogorodnikov

A recent site visit by Philadelphia YIMBY has observed that, well over a year after foundations assembly, no new construction progress has apparently been made at Bloc24, a five-story, eight-unit residential building at 613 South 24th Street (alternately known as 613-19 South 24th Street) in Graduate Hospital, South Philadelphia. In our most recent visit eleven months later, we found the site in effectively the same condition, with no evidence of further work having been carried out since that time. Designed by Moto Designshop, the structure will feature elevator service, a fresh food market at the ground floor, and an expansive roof deck that will span most of the rooftop and offer dramatic views of the nearby Center City skyline. Permits list 617 South 24th St LLC as the owner and Morgan Plecenik as the contractor, and indicate a construction cost of $1.5 million.
