The facade along Girard Avenue will be made up of red brick and board formed concrete while the Front St facade will have two stories of board formed concrete and corrugated metal on the upper floors. What do you think about the design? (cont'd)

There will be a 2,725 sf commercial space on Front St and an 1,880 sf commercial space along Girard. The project also includes 24 ground level automobile parking spaces with a curb cut entrance on Front St and 42 bicycle stalls. We should have renderings available soon (cont'd)

The site traded hands earlier this year and it looks like the new owners have updated the design (old rendering posted here). The project replaces a marble and granite yard, which has now been closed for years (cont'd)

Well, now we know as property stakeholders are appearing before the Architectural Committee of the Philadelphia Historical Commission. Stakeholders are proposing a 3-story, 28-unit building with ground floor commercial space(s) and a roof deck (cont'd)

The developer is seeking a variance that would allow the resi units to be used as a hotel, to include 5 parking spaces (0 allowed by-right), to include 7 bicycle stalls instead of the required 20, and for a slightly larger than allowed first floor coverage and total building SF

The project has been downsized from 50 to 42 units. The first floor of the building will be composed almost entirely of commercial space, which could be broken up into 2 commercial units. There will also be a 6 car surface parking lot at the back of the site along Blair St....
