The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
The county records describe a new detached apartment building at 300 W Norris St in the West Kensington area of Philadelphia. It would hold 33 homes (dwelling units). Plans also include eleven bicycle parking spaces and a roof deck that residents can reach.
The applicant on the filing is Reinvest Group LLC. Omega Home Builders is also named on the filing. The records do not say what currently stands on the site, and they do not say who would live there.
Searches found no news coverage, meeting agendas, hearing notices, zoning decisions or developer project page about this site. This explanation therefore rests on the county facts alone. Nothing found online shows opposition or approvals.
What it could mean nearby
- 33 new homes would add housing near the Norris Street corridor.
- Eleven bicycle spaces suggest the plan expects some residents to travel by bike.
- Records do not address traffic, parking, schools or utilities, so those effects are unknown.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is dated 2024-02-19, and no later public records were found. A project like this usually needs city review of its plans and permits, and zoning approval if it does not follow the zoning rules as they stand, before construction can begin.
