A 1-unit residential building is set to rise at 2000 N 2nd St in Fishtown, the kind of by-right infill quietly reshaping the block. It was cleared to build in Jul 27, 2022.

The 26,603 sq ft site is zoned IRMX, which supports a building on the order of 5 stories by right. The parcel last changed hands in 2019. The plans call for install throughout high-rise & four story building- emergency voice evacuation system and addressable fire alarm system w/ low frequency sound in all living rms and bedrooms, fire fighter jacks, tamper switches ,flow switches ,smoke detectors, heat detectors elevator recall, wp speaker strobes. all work is to be done according to approved drawings-2017 nec,2016 nfpa-72,2018 phila fire code.

The owner of record is Gotham Tower LP. 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, 12 other major projects have broken ground since 2022 — roughly 510 units of new supply — including the 40-unit project at 2034 N 2nd St, the 13-unit project at 1935 N 2nd St, the 21-unit project at 1931 N 2nd St. 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?
