3828 Spring Garden StDelivered

23-unit residential new construction, zoned CMX2.

A 23-unit residential building is set to rise at 3828 Spring Garden St in University City & Powelton, the kind of by-right infill quietly reshaping the block. It was cleared to build in Jan 24, 2019.

The 11,006 sq ft site is zoned CMX2, which supports a building on the order of 4 stories by right. The parcel last changed hands in 2018. The plans call for new construction of four story wood frame construction building with 23 dwelling inits. existing structure on site to be demolished per seperate permit.

The owner of record is G L P Schuyler & Co LP.

It isn't rising in isolation. Within a half-mile, 12 other major projects have broken ground since 2022 — roughly 253 units of new supply — including the 14-unit project at 3932-36 Mount Vernon St, the 62-unit project at 3620 Haverford Ave, the 16-unit project at 3618 Wallace 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?
