1935 N 2nd StDelivered

A four-story mixed-use building with 13 residential units and ground-floor commercial space has been delivered at 1935 N 2nd Street in Fishtown. Srd Second LLC, the owner of record, cleared the roughly 3,690-square-foot lot to build in early 2022, adding another slice of infill to the neighborhood's ongoing development wave. The project includes shell commercial space awaiting tenant fit-out and full sprinkler and standpipe systems throughout.

The building rises by-right under CMX2.5 zoning, which allows the four-story, mixed-use configuration without variance requests. The site last changed hands in 2021, and the relatively quick turnaround from acquisition to delivery suggests the developer moved efficiently through the entitlement and construction process. The commercial component keeps the ground floor activated along this stretch of 2nd Street, which has seen steady pedestrian traffic as Fishtown's density has grown.

The project sits within a half-mile radius of more than 300 residential units either delivered or in the pipeline, including a 21-unit building next door at 1931 N 2nd Street and a 40-unit project at 2034 N 2nd. Nearby developments at 300 W Norris Street and 1924 N Front Street add another 65 units to the tally, underscoring the appeal of CMX2.5 sites in this corridor. The consistency of activity here reflects strong fundamentals for mid-rise, mixed-use infill, particularly on parcels that can support retail or flexible ground-floor uses.

The delivery of 1935 N 2nd Street reinforces the pattern established by its neighbors: assemble a lot in the low thousands of square feet, push to the zoning envelope, and deliver a mix of residential and commercial. For remaining underbuilt parcels along 2nd Street and the side streets feeding it, the formula is well-tested, and the comps are stacking up quickly.
