The project is a new three-story attached apartment building with 16 homes at 1525 N Stillman St in Brewerytown, Philadelphia. The building would be about 20,800 square feet and roughly 35 feet tall. It sits on a lot about 80 feet wide, on the block bounded by N Stillman St, N 25th St and W Oxford St, just north of Jefferson St.
Philly YIMBY reported in July 2025 that permits had been issued. The plans include six bicycle parking spaces and no car parking. Existing curb cuts are to be removed and the sidewalks rebuilt to city standards. Balconies on the second and third floors would extend over the public right-of-way. A reader comment on the article calls the site a long-vacant lot, but the article does not confirm that. No opposition, hearings or information about who will live there turned up.
What it could mean nearby
- Adds 16 homes to Brewerytown, on a block where other new apartment buildings are reportedly under construction.
- With no off-street car parking, residents may rely on street parking, transit, walking or bikes.
- Removing curb cuts and rebuilding sidewalks could mean fewer driveway crossings for people walking.
- The project's reported construction cost of about $1.27 million points to short-term construction work.
Where it stands
Permits had been issued by July 2025, so the project has cleared city review and can be built. The next step is construction, followed by inspections and a certificate of occupancy before anyone moves in. No current construction progress was found.
