Philadelphia YIMBY Tracks Projects Ranging from 100,000 to Half-Million Square Feet

By Vitali Ogorodnikov

Last month, Philadelphia YIMBY discussed new article categories that were introduced at the start of the year. Among those were categories that grouped new proposals by residential unit count, where we dedicated an article to each of the groups. However, at the time we also introduced a similar category tracking method, where we catalog buildings by square footage. Although this may sound like a similar measurement technique, the square footage categories are more broad as they also include non-residential developments. In today’s installment of our “category spotlight” series, we focus on projects that range from 100,000 to half a million square feet. This category is largely comprised of relatively large mid-and high-rise developments. Please note that since the category was introduced only at the start of the year, it currently excludes articles published prior to this year.

Philadelphia YIMBY Tallies Projects With Vertical Extensions

By Vitali Ogorodnikov

As the “Yes In My Back Yard” acronym in our name suggests, Philadelphia YIMBY supports new development throughout the city. However, as our readers certainly know, we do so not at the cost of mindless destruction, and encourage historic preservation and adaptive reuse of distinguished structures whenever possible. Addition of new floors to existing structures is a fantastic way to increase the density at any given site while preserving, whether partially or fully, the structure that already stands. In today’s publication in our ongoing “category spotlight” series we look at vertical extensions that have been recently completed, are underway, or have been proposed in various new developments throughout the city.

Philadelphia YIMBY Tracks Recently Completed Developments

By Vitali Ogorodnikov

Philadelphia YIMBY seeks to track the entire development cycle from new projects throughout the city, starting from early planning all the way to completion. The latter is the category we look at in our “category spotlight” series. Building completion articles, which welcome the latest additions into our urban fabric, generally make for visually rich content that allows us to take a given project off our development tracker and relegates it to something of an urban archive that tracks the city’s growth one building at a time.
