15-unit residential new construction, zoned RM1.
A 15-unit residential building is set to rise at 2020 N 22nd St in Brewerytown & Sharswood, the kind of by-right infill quietly reshaping the block. It was cleared to build in Dec 27, 2021.
The 5,500 sq ft site is zoned RM1, which supports a building on the order of 3 stories by right. The parcel last changed hands in 2023. The plans call for for the erection of a new three (3) story attached structure (w/roof deck and pilot house enclosing access stairs only, and green roof (o&m agreement to be recorded prior to issuance of co)), to be used as group r-2 (fifteen (15) dwelling units), as per plans; separate permits required for all mep/fsp work; building to be sprinklered as per nfpa 13; covered walkway or sidewalk closure shall be required within 9.5 feet of building facade in accordance with section 3306 of the 2018 ibc; see zp-2021-015911 for zoning/use approval.
The owner of record is Mayas Couch 1031 Kh Limited Liability Co. 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, 3 other major projects have broken ground since 2022 — roughly 98 units of new supply — including the 8-unit project at 2400 W Montgomery Ave, the 63-unit project at 2004 Cecil B Moore Ave, the 27-unit project at 2134 Ridge 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?
