14-unit modular apartment building, 2639 S 58th St

The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026

County records describe a three-story modular building with 14 apartments at 2639 S 58th St in Bartram Village, Southwest Philadelphia. The building will be fully sprinklered. The filing names the Philadelphia Housing Authority and Domus, Inc.

Online coverage ties the same address to a larger Philadelphia Housing Authority project. A 2024 article on renderings described five buildings of two to three stories, about 65 mixed-income homes and 36 parking spaces. It did not mention modular construction or Domus. The 14-unit building may be one part of that larger plan, but no source confirms this.

The article described red brick, fiber cement and metal panels meant to blend with nearby rowhouses. The site is reportedly a vacant lot next to the older Bartram Village complex, which the authority plans to replace.

What it could mean nearby

• Adds new homes. The wider plan is described as mixed-income housing, and the 14 units in this filing are part of the county's count.
• The 2024 plans showed 36 parking spaces for the larger project. Street trees and grass strips were also shown along the sidewalks.
• Part of a bigger effort to replace the aging Bartram Village complex, which could bring more construction activity to the area.

Where it stands

The county's latest filing is dated June 2025, which suggests permitting or review. No hearing or approval decision was found online. Next steps are usually permit issuance, then construction. Modular buildings are typically built in a factory and then assembled on site.
