Looking At 1BRKS, An Under-Construction Mixed-Use Development in Norris Square

Quote:

1BRKS is a multi-building development located by the elevated Market-Frankford Line on Front Street. The development is situated at the intersection of Olde Kensington and Fishtown, two vibrant and rapidly developing neighborhoods. Designed by Cosica Moos Architects, the project will add a major destination to the area with 26,000 square feet of retail space. A cafe, brewery, distillery, and beauty salon are some of the tenants already lined up. The development will also include significant residential space within three newly constructed buildings, all of which have already received permits.

The building situated at 102 West Berks Street holds 28 residential units, ten bike spaces, and a roof deck with a green roof. The building has made significant construction progress with work already wrapping up. Another mixed-use structure is planned at 1828-42 North Front Street, which will rise 68 feet and six stories tall, with three commercial spaces on the ground floor and 70 residential units above. The project will also include 25 underground parking spots and 24 bike spaces.

The third newly constructed building is located at 1813 North Howard Street. Philly YIMBY previously shared this development in December when permits were issued for its construction. Upon completion, the new building will rise six stories tall and hold 27 residential units. An industrial space will be located in the basement. In total, the structure will offer 28,358 square feet of space.

Finally, the development also includes the renovation of the existing industrial building located at Berks Street and North Howard Street. The preservation of the old structure will provide more balance in the development, with all of its contemporary glory. The work on this portion of the development has already been completed.

^dang I hope that turns out as good as the rendering looks.

I noticed the other day 2100 Hamilton is just about done.

iheartphilly · #**16128** Posted **Jul 12, 2021, 5:11 PM**

^
A sleek glass box...turned out way better than the renders. Most importantly, they were able to build up from that parking lot/hole below grade and make use of that lot. It's billed as a super lux bldg and a price tag to go with it. The garden/planting will look very nice and will provide good outdoor space for those to enjoy.

I think this looks great! Finally filling in that dreadful hole.

That's great! We can also post this in the highrise thread since it's technically a highrise.

Francisville along Ridge stays hot.

One day, they’ll run the Ridge Spur the whole length of the road. One day…

A lot to like in these recent posts, but this is gross.

Busy Bee · #**16133** Posted **Jul 12, 2021, 8:24 PM**

^ Yeah, it's 100% awful, and what is lost makes it all the more painful. Was a person that calls themselves an "architect" actually involved with this?

I am waiting for the day when Ridge Avenue (from Broad to Girard) will have a restaurant scene like Frankford Ave or Passyunk Ave. So much new construction, but no commercial action.

That section of Fairmount (directly South) has seen some good dining improvements though, so hopefully only a matter of time before it spreads North.

TonyTone · #**16135** Posted **Jul 12, 2021, 10:29 PM**

IMO that’s actually not a bad design. I think it just needs to be updated a bit but its pretty solid & simple.

TonyTone · #**16136** Posted **Jul 12, 2021, 10:33 PM**

So with all the improvements happening in Fishtown & Slowly going into Kensington, when will we see the EL stops getting renovated & also the supports getting repainted into a new color or even designed with a mural?

Im saying this because now that neighborhoods that were once depressed get revived & taken care of taxes will start being paid again & areas will be upkept.

Septa is starting to do good with station clean ups & fixups. They have 3 stations planned to get some work done in the next month or so.

Hold that thought. I should probably post this in the transportation thread, if it hasn't been already:

Will Harrisburg Republicans save SEPTA and other transit agencies in time?
Transit agencies and advocates are pushing for new stable funding as a deal that provided $400 million a year expires.

There's some commercial action happening along Ridge (a new pharmacy, yoga studio, a very nice juice bar, a coffee bar, and several hair/nail salons), but no restaurants yet. I'm also hoping that this will change soon. Several of the new retail spaces, especially the new buildings rising at the corners of Ridge and Francis and Ridge and Ginnodo, are large enough to accommodate a restaurant space. I am also hoping for a new bar in one of these spaces.

Also, if you haven't tried it yet, Libertee Grounds at 16th and Girard is a fantastic new addition to the neighborhood! As a native Philadelphian, their lamb kheema cheesesteak is one of the best cheesesteaks I've ever had. Their "hyperlocal" craft beer selection is also killer. If they can be successful at Girard, then I know that a restaurant could be successful along Ridge--particularly along the 1500 or 1600 blocks.

Multimillion-dollar housing market in Philly is going strong

https://www.inquirer.com/real-estate/hou...use-square-museum-district-20210713.html

Great to see this segment of the market going strong. I wish more of these fancy homes would sell to people from outside of the region, not just those relocating from down the street or the burbs.

Side note - This is poorly written article with some outdated stats. For example, the median value of an owner occupied home in the region is now approaching $300k, not $250k. The Inquirer writing and research capabilities has really gone downhill.
