Philly YIMBY’s recent site visit has revealed that construction has still not started at a six-story mixed-use building with ground-level retail and 107 residential units at 23 West Girard Avenue in Olde Kensington, though permits had been issued last November. We noted no signs of demolition nor construction at the property, with a Speedy Mart convenience store still apparently in operation. Designed by JKRP Architects and developed by Girard Real Estate LLC, the project will span 104,160 square feet and will feature parking for 28 cars and 47 bicycles, full sprinkling, and a roof deck, which, given the building’s future prominence over the surroundings, will likely offer panoramic views of the Center City skyline. Permits list Benchmark Construction Group Inc. as the contractor and a construction cost of $21.5 million.
