1115 Germantown AveUnder construction

0-unit residential new construction, zoned CMX3.

A 0-unit residential building is set to rise at 1115 Germantown Ave in Northern Liberties, the kind of by-right infill quietly reshaping the block.

The 31,462 sq ft site is zoned CMX3, which supports a building on the order of 8 stories by right. The parcel last changed hands in 2024.

The owner of record is Morris Nicholas.

It isn't rising in isolation. Within a half-mile, 10 other major projects have broken ground since 2022 — roughly 785 units of new supply — including the 10-unit project at 1139-41 N 3rd St, the 166-unit project at 310 W Girard Ave, the 84-unit project at 130 W Girard Ave. 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?
