Quote:

When we last visited here a year ago, the old building on-site was demolished, and we knew that a 37-unit building was on the way from developers Constellar and Donovan Architects. This building is a privately-owned affordable housing development, with all units earmarked for folks making between 20-60% of the local area median income (AMI) – a huge victory for affordable housing advocates. Steel is now above ground and things are in full swing on site.

4200 Lancaster Ave. is making a turn to residential. Formerly a brick building that wasn’t turning any heads, a 15-unit building to be named Nova Commons is rising on this CMX-2 zoned lot. The development team is also utilizing the green roof bonus and a payment to the affordable housing fund to get to their current unit count. Things are well underway for this design from DesignBlendz, which will also include ground floor commercial space on the corner.

Formerly a one-story CVS, the corner building is now demolished, with plans now calling for 201 units along with 44 parking spaces rising seven stories. Hightop Development brought in CosciaMoos to design a modern building with ground floor retail, forming a striking new space at this prominent spot. Immediately to the south, another mixed-use building from Canno Design will add yet another 49 units to this increasingly buzzing intersection.

1201 W. Girard Avenue project in Yorktown

Quote:

The property at 1201 W. Girard Ave. was a low-rise Rite Aid and a massive parking lot for years. It was almost exactly two years ago when we last checked out the site, when plans for 168 units designed by Landmark Architecture went to Civic Design Review. Since then, the site has been cleared and construction is well underway for this four-story building. This exclusively residential building with 31 car parking spaces will bring even more residents to this transit-friendly area. As you can see, the design has been switched up a bit, now featuring a stately brick facade along the entirety of Girard Ave., with recessed black windows and masonry helping break-up the length and adding to the traditional material palette.
