2226 N Front StCleared to build

0-unit mixed-use new construction, zoned CMX2.

A 0-unit mixed-use building is set to rise at 2226 N Front St in Fairhill, the kind of by-right infill quietly reshaping the block. It was cleared to build in Dec 16, 2020.

The 5,088 sq ft site is zoned CMX2, which supports a building on the order of 5 stories by right. The parcel last changed hands in 2020. The plans call for for the erection of an attached structure (height nte 55 feet) with roof deck & roof deck access structures and green roof. size and location as shown in the application/plans.

The owner of record is Front Street Row LLC. 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 392 units of new supply — including the 14-unit project at 2214 N Front St, the 60-unit project at 2221 N Front St, the 31-unit project at 2112 N Front 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?
