A seven-story building is proposed at 219-25 Cecil B. Moore Avenue in West Kensington. It would have a basement and a roof deck. It would hold 18 apartments, four of them set aside as affordable. The ground floor would be commercial space, which the county records list as vacant, meaning no tenant is lined up yet.
The developer on the filing is Millennium Philadelphia Development LLC. The latest county filing is dated November 2024.
