1935 Diamond StCleared to build

4-unit residential new construction, zoned CMX2.

A 4-unit residential building is set to rise at 1935 Diamond St in Brewerytown & Sharswood, the kind of by-right infill quietly reshaping the block. It was cleared to build in Oct 29, 2021.

The 1,641 sq ft site is zoned CMX2, which supports a building on the order of 3 stories by right. Records show the parcel last traded in 2015 for $55K. The plans call for for the erection of a three (3) story attached structure as per approved plans. for use as three (3) dwelling units and vacant commercial space (separate c/o required for commercial space). structure to be fully sprinklered in accordance with nfpa 13 & 13r minimum. **separate permits required for mep and fire suppression work.** **2018 ibc**.

The owner of record is Dsw74 LLC. The project's plan drawings are on file — worth a look for anyone underwriting the surrounding block.

It isn't rising in isolation. Within a half-mile, 2 other major projects have broken ground since 2022 — roughly 76 units of new supply — including the 13-unit project at 1515-19 W Dauphin St, the 63-unit project at 2004 Cecil B Moore Ave. That kind of concentration is exactly what pulls land values, and buyer attention, toward a block.

We'll update this page as the project progresses — leasing, retail tenants, renderings, and construction milestones as they surface. The relevant question for investors and agents: what are the surrounding parcels worth to a builder now that this is coming?
