The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
The project is a three-story attached building at 2628 South St. It would have a financial services use, such as a bank, on the ground floor and six apartments or condos above. The plans show roof decks with small structures that give access to them.
Philly YIMBY, a local development news site, reported in December 2025 that building permits had been issued. It describes a lot of about 1,904 square feet and a building of about 7,714 square feet, roughly 38 feet tall. The reported cost is about $1.4 million. The site held one older house, and a reader comment said demolition was nearly finished in December 2025.
The article places the site near South 27th Street, in the Schuylkill or Devil's Pocket area. County records label it Fitler Square. The article does not name a bank tenant. A 2023 city sign application linked to the address mentions an ATM lobby, but that application is not a confirmed tenant.
What it could mean nearby
- Six new homes on a lot that held one house.
- Ground-floor financial services use would add a commercial frontage on South St.
- Full lot coverage with no yards means little new open space at street level; roof decks are private.
- Parking for the homes and the commercial space has not been confirmed in the sources found.
Where it stands
Permits were reported issued in December 2025, and demolition of the old house was reported nearly complete. Construction would usually come next, followed by inspections and occupancy approval.
