Earlier this month, YIMBY shared floor plans and planning infographics for Tioga District’s Diamond Health Hub, a five-story, 120-unit mixed-use development proposed at 2024-32 North 22nd Street in North Philadelphia West; today we share the project’s Complete Streets Handbook Checklist, a rather technical documentation set included in the project’s Civic Design Review submission. The development will rise from a through-block lot sited between by North 22nd Street to the east and North Croskey Street to the west. Designed by Oombra Architects, the building will offer 49,423 square feet of residential space, 10,567 square feet of commercial space, and parking for nine cars and 28 bicycles.

Last week, YIMBY ran an in-depth publication covering The Luxe Phase I, a six-story, 96-unit rental development nearing completion at 1705 North American Street in Norris Square; while the piece focused on the building from its architectural and urban planning standpoint, today we venture into its residential experience by focusing on its amenities. Listed under a full address of 1705-41 North American Street and alternatively called The Luxe Fishtown (the development website describes the neighborhood as Fishtown West), the building spans a through-block lot that extends from North American Street to the west to North Philip Street to the east. Designed by the Atrium Design Group and Stantec, the structure will span 95,000 square feet and feature around 9,900 square feet of ground-floor retail, a roof deck, and parking for 44 cars and 72 bicycles, and other amenities that are covered below. Permits list Turn Key Realty as the contractor and indicate a construction cost of $15 million.

Philadelphia YIMBY’s recent site visit has noted significant construction progress at a five-story, 204-unit building underway at 1700 North Front Street in Fishtown. The development rises in place of a parking lot that spanned a block bound by the Front Street, which carries the elevated Market-Frankford subway line, to the east, Cecil B. Moore Avenue to the south, Hope Street to the west, and Palmer Street to the north. Designed by NORR, the 172,844-square-foot project will offer 123,218 square feet of residential space (including 28 studios, 141 one-bedroom units, 35 two-bedroom apartments, and a 5,264-square-foot amenity suite) and 16,429 square feet of retail. The development will also provide parking for 70 bicycles.
