The county filing describes a plan to add one- and two-story additions to an existing five-story building at 2400 Washington Ave in Point Breeze, Philadelphia. The additions would create 30 apartments with a roof deck. They would also add retail, restaurant and office space.
The plan includes about 152 off-street parking spaces. The existing five-story building would stay, and the new floors and wings would be built onto it.
No news coverage, hearing notices or developer project page were found that clearly match this proposal. Nothing is known online about opposition, approvals or who might occupy the commercial space. Some older articles cover other Washington Avenue sites, including a different proposal at the same intersection, but they were not clearly about this project and were not used.
