Rising Real Estate

A zoning permit was issued yesterday for a 7-story, 35-unit building with 22 parking spots on a small existing parking lot at 101 Market Street in Old City. The parking lot currently holds 42 spaces. Scroll through to see the site plan. Do you think this project will look cool next to the ramp to the loop?

Ray Philly - a 6-story apartment building with 110 residential units, a 2,700 SF commercial space, 6 artist studios, and 17 parking spots - was recently completed on American Street is South Kensington. This project replaced a vacant lot and has contributed to the resurgence of American Street. Really cool brick work on this one. Seems like it turned out even better than the renderings. What do you think?

Work is now underway on former site of the 7-Eleven at 23 W Girard in Fishtown. The project entails a 6-story building with 107 residential units, 4,904 square feet of commercial space, 28 car parking spots, and 47 bicycle stalls. What do you think about the design? Is this a better use of the space than the 7-Eleven / surface parking lot?
