Philadelphia YIMBY Reviews Various Residential Interiors

7:00 am on April 1, 2022 By Vitali Ogorodnikov

The goal of Philadelphia YIMBY is to address a wide range of urban development throughout the city, not only covering a variety of building forms and types, but also spanning different types of publications, which include building permits, construction updates, skyline renderings, an occasional historic feature, and more. While development news and construction updates remain as our primary focus, since the beginning of the year, we have increased the volume of articles that showcase building interiors, particularly residential, in order to give readers a better feel of what it would be like to actually reside in developments that we have previously generally covered only from the outside perspective. Below are a few examples from our “Interiors” category, introduced around the start of the year, which catalogs such articles.

University Place 3.0 Tops Out in University City, West Philadelphia

8:00 am on March 30, 2022 By Vitali Ogorodnikov

Philadelphia’s construction boom of new medical and life-sciences facilities continues unabated, and another milestone has been reached earlier this month. Last week, University Place 3.0, an eight-story commercial and laboratory building under construction at 4101 Market Street in University City, has officially been topped out in an event celebrated with a ceremonial beam-raising and a series of speeches by prominent figures behind the project. Designed by the Sheward Partnership and jointly developed by Silverstein Properties, Cantor Fitzgerald, and University Place Associates, University Place 3.0 will offer 250,000 square feet of state-of-the-art Class A office and lab space, which will provide a significant boost to West Philadelphia’s rapidly-growing medical services industry, as well as ground-level retail space that will liven up the pedestrian experience.

Philadelphia YIMBY Catalogs New Single-Family Developments

7:00 am on March 30, 2022 By Vitali Ogorodnikov

Following the logical descending order of Philadelphia YIMBY’s ongoing “category spotlight” series, which looks at some of the new article categories we introduced at the start of the year, the final category among the unit-count groups goes to new single-family houses. When possible, we tend to focus on larger development, yet to property reflect the reality of the city’s real estate market, on occasion we cover a few of the numerous single-family projects that are proposed, under construction, and recently completed around the city. In his brilliant 2019 book The North Atlantic Cities, author Charles Duff calls Philadelphia as the greatest rowhouse city in the United States, putting it ahead of behemoths such as New York, Boston, and Baltimore. As most of the newly-built single-family houses are of the rowhouse variety, this category highlights the city’s enduring centuries-old vernacular tradition even if much of this new construction is styled in a contemporary manner. Please see below for a few examples from our recent publications.

Philadelphia YIMBY Looks at Recent Projects with Two to Three Residential Units

7:30 am on March 29, 2022 By Vitali Ogorodnikov

In the continuing descending order of Philadelphia YIMBY’s ongoing “category spotlight” series, which looks at some of the new article categories we introduced at the start of the year, is the group of new buildings that feature two to three residential units. The category almost exclusively covers smaller, typically rowhouse-sized developments, although in some cases it intersects with larger groups of buildings consisting of several such structures. Please see below for several such projects that we have covered this year so far.
