The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
County records show a permit for a new four-story apartment building at 3750 Brown Street in the Mantua neighborhood of Philadelphia. It would hold 32 apartments. It would also have offices that serve the building, a community room, and five parking spaces.
The records list two firms on the filing: Community Justice Land Trust and Domus, Inc. A land trust usually keeps ownership of the land so the homes can stay affordable over the long term. The records do not say who will live in the building or what rents or prices will be.
The records do not say what is on the site now. No news coverage, meeting minutes or developer project page for this address was found online.
What it could mean nearby
- The building would add 32 homes to Mantua.
- Only five parking spaces are planned, so most residents would probably rely on transit, walking or street parking.
- The community room and accessory offices suggest some shared or service space inside the building. The records do not say who would use it.
Where it stands
The county records describe the building as permitted, with the latest filing on 2024-07-08. Construction usually follows once permits are in place. Nothing found online confirms whether work has started.
