A four-story apartment building with 43 homes is proposed on Eastburn Avenue in West Oak Lane, Philadelphia. County records say it would have a roof deck and a pilot house, which is the small enclosed structure on a roof that holds the stairway or elevator exit.
A local news site, PhillyYIMBY, reported in February 2024 that building permits were issued for a 43-unit, four-story building at a nearby address, 2017-21 Eastburn Avenue. It matches this project in unit count, height, roof deck, contractor and neighborhood. The address differs slightly from the county's 2011 address, so it is probably the same project, but that is not confirmed. The report describes the site as a large vacant lot on the north side of the street. It gives the building as about 44,501 square feet. No opposition, hearing or tenant information was found.
What it could mean nearby
- Adds 43 apartments to West Oak Lane, on a lot reported to be vacant.
- More residents could mean more street parking demand and foot traffic along Eastburn Avenue. No traffic study was found.
- Construction work would bring temporary jobs and activity to the site.
Where it stands
Permits were reported as issued in February 2024, which suggests the project cleared city review and can start construction. The usual next steps are construction, inspections and then a certificate of occupancy before tenants move in. No construction progress was found.
