8:00 am on December 13, 2021 By Vitali Ogorodnikov

A 328-foot-tall, 29-story residential tower proposed at 33 North 22nd Street in Center City West takes the 19th place in Philadelphia YIMBY’s December 2021 Development Countdown. Designed by Solomon Cordwell Buenz and developed by the PMC Property Group, the building will feature 341 apartments as well as a garage for use both by the building’s residents and customers of the adjacent Trader Joe’s supermarket, which currently uses the future building site for outdoor parking. Philly YIMBY’s recent site visit revealed no construction progress at the site, as we expected given that construction permits have just been issued last month.

Parking Lot Available for Nearly 200,000-Square-Foot Development at 735 Arch Street in Market East, Center City

7:30 am on December 11, 2021 By Vitali Ogorodnikov

Developer Parkway Corporation is looking to redevelop a 39,564-square-foot parking lot at 735 Arch Street in Market East, Center City, into a building that may yield 197,820 square feet with a floor-to-area ratio of 5:1. No permits have been filed for the site nor have any specific proposals, if they exist, been revealed to the public. It appears that Parkway is currently seeking a development partner or anchor tenant, given that the parcel is listed in its “opportunities” section. The lot is situated within a Federal Opportunity Zone, an economic development program that encourages investment in specially designated “distressed areas” by providing major tax incentives to developers.

The 22nd place on Philadelphia YIMBY’s December 2021 Development Countdown goes to the 315-foot-tall, 24-story tower proposed at 702 Sansom Street in Market East, Center City. Designed by SLCE Architects and developed by Toll Brothers, the development will hold 85 residential units. Its location on Jewelers’ Row has been somewhat controversial and has led to considerable design revisions. Our recent site visit revealed that the cleared site still sits vacant with no work in progress, appearing just as it did a year ago.
