Four-story 10-unit building, 1903 W Erie Ave

The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026

The developer plans to build a new four-story attached apartment building with 10 homes at 1903 W Erie Ave in the Nicetown-Tioga area of North Philadelphia. It would add about 10,000 square feet of new floor area and be fully sprinklered.

The lot is a long, narrow site between existing three-story buildings. A local news report says it is zoned RM-1, a multi-family residential district. One of the 10 units is to be set aside as affordable under a city bonus for moderate-income housing. Construction cost is listed at about $1.5 million.

Building permits have been reported as issued in July 2026. No opposition, community meeting or hearing was found. No information was found on who will live there or when work will finish.

What it could mean nearby

• Adds 10 new homes, including one affordable unit, to an existing mixed residential block.
• Fits the scale of neighboring buildings, which are three stories, so the four-story height is only slightly taller.
• About 3,000 square feet of ground will be disturbed during construction, so short-term noise and street activity are likely.
• No parking details were found, so effects on street parking and traffic are unknown.

Where it stands

Building permits were reported as issued in July 2026, so the project appears to have cleared city review and can start construction. Next steps are separate trade permits (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire suppression), construction and inspections.
