Permits have been filed for the erection of a four-story, multi-family structure at 2621-23 Jefferson Street in Brewerytown, North Philadelphia. The property is situated on the north side of the block that is located between North Bailey Street and North 26th Street, across from Athletic Square Park. The building will have a footprint that spans 2,822 square feet. Rollup LLC is the listed owner.
A conceptual design recently leaked online for the fifth-tallest building on Philly YIMBY’s December 2020 Development Countdown, an approximately 550-foot-tall building at 1826 Chestnut Street in Rittenhouse Square, Center City. The details of the project are entirely lacking, aside from the screenshots that depict a 42-story skyscraper along with the logo of Goodman Properties, the current owner, and possible developer. The tower will likely be residential, and appears to rise from the preserved exterior of the former Aldine Theatre, now occupied by a pharmacy. As expected, Philly YIMBY’s recent site visit has revealed no signs of construction.
Exterior work is wrapping up at Liberty Flats, a multi-family development located at 526 Brown Street in Northern Liberties, North Philadelphia. The development rises six stories and includes 36 luxury condos, with a mix between one- and two-bedrooms. The ground floor will feature 3,000 square feet of retail space. Residents will have access to a total of 14 parking spaces as well as a storage unit for each condo, located in the cellar of the building. A rooftop deck will offer nearly 2,000 square feet of patio space and boasting great views of the skyline. Trinity Realty Companies is the developer.
Renderings have been revealed for The Bordeaux, a five-story mixed-use building planned for 2600 West Girard Avenue in Brewerytown, North Philadelphia. Designed by Ambit Architecture and developed by the Argo Property Group, the structure will yield 16 units and 20,938 square feet, including a 3,500-square-foot ground-floor retail space. Amenities include bike and tenant storage and a shard roof deck with skyline views.
The sixth-tallest project on Philly YIMBY’s December 2020 Development Countdown is the most visible development currently under construction in Philadelphia. Arthaus at 311 South Broad Street in Washington Square West, Center City, has already made a major impact on the skyline as it nears topping out at a height of 542 feet and 45 stories (though the marketing material describes the building as 47 stories tall). Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, which also designed the 792-foot-tall BNY Mellon Center, the city’s fifth-tallest building, and developed by Dranoff Properties, the building will feature 108 condominium apartments. Philly YIMBY’s recent site visit revealed busy activity, with workers installing cladding on the superstructure.
