A 6-unit residential building is set to rise at 734 Jefferson St in Fishtown, the kind of by-right infill quietly reshaping the block. It was cleared to build in Sep 23, 2024.

The 1,513 sq ft site is zoned RSA5, which supports a building on the order of 3 stories by right. Records show the parcel last traded in 2024 for $375K. The plans call for new construction of a three (3) story building with private roof deck and pilot house for use as a six (6) family dwelling as per approved plans. building to be fully sprinklered. *2018 ibc review* **separate permits required for mep & fire suppression work**.

The owner of record is Jackson Property Venture Inc. 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, 5 other major projects have broken ground since 2022 — roughly 617 units of new supply — including the 8-unit project at 1545 N 6th St, the 160-unit project at 1600-10 N 11th St, the 160-unit project at 1600-10 N 11th St. That kind of concentration is exactly what pulls land values, and buyer attention, toward a block.
