117-unit residential new construction, zoned CMX3.

A 117-unit residential building is set to rise at 1900-54 N 10th St in Fishtown, one of the larger new-construction projects underway in Philadelphia this cycle. It was cleared to build in Dec 11, 2019.

The 108,900 sq ft site is zoned CMX3, which supports a building on the order of 4 stories by right. The parcel last changed hands in 2019.

It isn't rising in isolation. Within a half-mile, 12 other major projects have broken ground since 2022 — roughly 542 units of new supply — including the 35-unit project at 2132-38 N 10th St, the 9-unit project at 914-18 W Susquehanna Ave, the 9-unit project at 1941 N Marshall St. That kind of concentration is exactly what pulls land values, and buyer attention, toward a block.
