The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
The county records describe a new five-story apartment building with 13 homes at 1435 W. Girard Avenue, in the North Central part of Philadelphia. The building would be a mid-sized, multi-family project along a busy commercial and transit corridor.
Two companies appear on the filing: DJB Development LLC and BF Capital Developers LLC. The records do not say what is on the site now, what the apartments would rent or sell for, or who would live there.
No news coverage, meeting agendas, hearing notices or developer project page were found for this address. The description here rests on the county records alone.
What it could mean nearby
- 13 new homes would add to the housing supply on a street with existing transit and shops.
- Construction would bring temporary truck traffic and sidewalk or lane disruption on Girard Avenue.
- The records do not say whether parking is included, so the effect on street parking is unknown.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is dated 2024-11-18, and no public approvals or hearings were found online. A project like this usually moves from permit review to approval, then construction, though the records do not show which step it is at.
