New six story building with 105 units. We need to step back for a minute and appreciate the massive amount of development around the Berks El Station, so much density-ridership is going to continue to skyrocket!

1021 North 3rd Street
A new eight-story, 28 unit building. This will be another Post Brothers Liberties Walk development. Also, on one of the renderings, a potential seven story office building shows up, maybe a future plan for the neighborhood?

And that’s what Northern Liberties is going to look like in a few years-INSANE.

Okay, everyone, CDR is back, and it’s absolutely massive this time!
To start things off…
650 Fairmount Avenue
This is on the border between the Poplar Neighborhood as well as Northern Liberties. Two mixed use buildings will amount to 297 units as well as another 107 units coming through duplexes and townhomes. I really like the design of the project, it’s a major improvement to the current brick homes currently there, and it the pedestrian walkways are really cool.

1324 Allegheny Avenue

This is a great project coming to the area around the Temple University Hospital, which generally doesn’t see much development, although there are two CDRs for the area this month. The six story mixed use building will bring 70 units to the neighborhood, and it has a pretty solid design as well.

1801 North American Street
American Street is in absolute fire! I think it may pass Delaware Avenue in terms of the sheer amount of projects proposed for the corridor. This project will be a 5 story mixed use building with 60 residential units.

This is a second sort of the Broad And Washington, but across the street. This will also get its own thread, as it will stand 12 stories and hold more than 300 residential units.

This was also posted in its own thread. This will be some sort of an addition of Piazza Terminal and it is also being built by Post Brothers. It classifies as a skyscraper and will have 280 residential units.

Absolutely Massive CDR! I just can’t believe how many proposals Northern Liberties is still seeing! Thousands and thousands of new residents are moving there, the Girard El Station is going to be packed with all of these new potential riders!

If this development happened, it would be huge for the neighborhood and Delaware River Waterfront. With a new neighborhood being built to the north in Northbank and well over 2,000 units planned just to the south, the addition of 216 here would go rather unnoticed, but the renovation of the famous historic structure would be so great for the area. I can’t wait to see what the interiors are planned to look like.

And for another CDR! This was a pretty good one, we got some new projects and some updated designs, plus a high rise that I created a new thread for!

An updated design for a large lowrise project, much better than the original plans. 150 units + retail.

6901 Elmwood Avenue

Disgusting warehouse development. Luckily, this thing isn’t really legit. SEPTA is planning on buying the property to build a new trolley facility as part of the trolley modernization plan, and the owner of the property and just trying to drive the price point up.

123 South 12th Street

And the high rise! This has its own thread, but I’ll post it here as well. 412 residential units across 20 floors, 265 feet tall. It looks really good too!

It’s such a shame that this happened, this was supposed to be a key infrastructural point for the entire city. It is a horrible look for Amazon to prioritize a polluting distribution center over a transit improvement that would benefit thousands in the city. They must do better

Thanks for sharing! My hometown is just across the river from the port, I lived there for the first 13 years of my life. I watched the port grow even after I moved out, and even 10 years ago they wanted to add more cranes to the south. I’m glad theyre actually moving forward with that, I’m just surprised the amount of cranes will double at the port.

Here is something that’s very exciting, at least for those folks who live in the western suburbs of Philadelphia.

Next month (August 21, to be exact) SEPTA will extend its Media/Elwyn regional-rail line to Middletown Township in Delaware County. The extension is fully electrified as is the rest of SEPTA rail, and it will contain one new station, which will be called Wawa railway station. This is actually restoration of service that was axed in 1986.

This single-story Rite Aid with a parking lot is in the middle of Center City, at 23rd and Walnut. I hope after it closes the site gets redeveloped into something that’s less “suburban.”
