The foundations are built, and construction is underway.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The project sits on an oddly shaped lot between 19th Street, Cameron Street, and Wylie Street, which neighbors call \u201cthe triangle lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The property used to be owned by the Exton-based Hankin Group, which secured building permits for a 115-unit apartment building during the pandemic. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Hankin sold the property in 2021. Now two different townhouse projects are being developedon the site, one by West Philadelphia-based Guy Laren.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The apartment project is being built under the name of Cameron Square Partners LLC, which is registered at a West Philadelphia property owned by Laren. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>On the Department of Licenses and Inspections website, violations for \u201cwalkway not provided\u201d and a failure to post permits are being appealed by the Philadelphia-based developer, contractor, and property manager Vicintas. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Laren did not respond to a request for comment. Vicintas confirmed it is the general contractor and future property manager for the apartment building but did not reply to an interview request.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Hankin\u2019s building permit is old enough that the Philadelphia Planning Commission decided it has to go through an advisory-only Civic Design Review process again, five years after its first go-around. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The new iteration of the project is different from what Hankin proposed, with 110 instead of 115 apartments but larger layouts. It has a new architect, too, with Philadelphia-based Harman Deutsch Ohler Architecture replacing global firm NORR. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe new owner wanted some bigger units, so we\u2019re down five units, and we increased the height by five feet, and then we redid the entire facade,\u201d said Rustin Ohler, a principal with the firm. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The new plans call for 40 one-bedroom apartments and 35 two-bedroom units, with the remainder mostly being larger studio units known in the industry as \u201cjunior one-bedrooms\u201d. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The apartments will have \u201cmore square footage, not necessarily more bedrooms,\u201d Ohler said. \u201cThe previous design had a lot of studios. This is more ones and twos [bedrooms], and they\u2019re a little larger than your average new construction coming to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=2215\">The real reason the colonists declared independence<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Parking has been reduced from 52 to 48 spaces, although the development team plans to expand the number of spaces by automating the garage. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Such a system would eliminate the need for people to enter the facility, depending on mechanical systems to distribute and receive cars and allowing for a much larger parking capacity.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The apartment building contains no retail but will have amenities including a gymnasium and a narrow roof deck, including a dog park, that is set back from edge so it is not visible from the street.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>At a June meeting of the Civic Design Review committee, a representative of the United Francisville Civic Association criticized the amount of parking in the project, the increased height, the roof deck, and the new building materials.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWhat was originally approved was a five-story building,\u201d said the representative, whose name was obscured in a recording. \u201cThis is now a six-story building, and it really towers above. It just adds a lot more height to the building based on the surroundings.\u201d <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>At the June and July meetings, however, Ohler noted that the threeprojects on the triangle lot are already under construction and that the apartment project is hemmed in by the bordering townhouse developments. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>That restricts what changes could be made to the architecture and layout of the project, despite community concerns. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The development team increased \u201cthe garage ceiling height in order to accommodate future stacked mechanical parking, which would potentially double our number of cars that we could have,\u201d Ohler said.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Since the June meeting, the development team also added darker brick spelling out \u201c801,\u2033 as an identifier on the building\u2019s south facing facade and entrance. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Ohler noted that the roof deck has been broken up into four separate pockets to prevent large groups of residents from congregating. It also was pushed back from the street to accommodate neighbor concerns. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe roof decks have been designed to be centered into the building, so that nobody can get near the edge,\u201d Ohler said. \u201cAnd we did add the solar panels, there\u2019s no way for anybody to get near the edge, so that would address their concerns of sound from the roof deck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=2213\">After the flood | Inquirer South Jersey<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A suburban developer sold the lot to Philadelphia-based real estate interests, who are making their move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2218,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-commercial","category-real-estate"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
