County records show a proposal to combine three lots at 2231 to 2235 Fernon St in Point Breeze, Philadelphia, into one parcel. The existing structures would be demolished. A new attached building with 12 apartments would replace them.
The filing lists the owner or applicant as GSD 3 LLC. The latest county filing is dated May 12, 2025. The records do not give the building's height, parking, or whether the units will be rented or sold.
The searches found no news coverage, hearing notices, neighborhood opposition, approvals, or developer project page for this proposal. The only results for 2231 Fernon St were rental and sales listings for an existing home. Details beyond the county record could not be confirmed.
