A rendering for a new mixed-use building at 1500 Frankford Avenue in Fishtown has been released. The corner property was recently involved in an Act 135 conservatorship petition, which allows the filer to take control of a blighted property, rehab it, and sell it while collecting a fee for their efforts. According to the Inquirer, the owners of 1500 Frankford Avenue decided to sell the property to a developer earlier this year in order to avoid the Act 135 petition. Earlier this month, a permit to seal the lateral drain connection, which is often the precursor to demolition of a property, was issued. The property will include 1,850 square feet of ground floor commercial space. No information has been released about the number of apartments included in the project, but roughly 5 should be allowed by-right. What do you think about the design of this building? What kind of business would you like to see occupy the commercial space?

A zoning permit has been issued for a 67-unit residential conversion of the WCAU Building at 1618-1622 Chestnut Street. The WCAU Building was built in 1928 for the WCAU radio station. Its upper floors were most recently occupied by the Art Institute of Philadelphia, which vacated in 2018. The new residential units will be on the first level and on floors 3-9 with Old Navy presumably staying as the retail tenant. Plans also call for a roof deck to be added to the building. Are you happy to see this Art Deco treasure get some love and for 67 more homes to be added within Center City?

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?
