County records describe a three-story attached building at 4331 Lancaster Avenue in the Belmont area of Philadelphia. The ground floor would hold commercial space that is currently vacant. Eight apartments would sit on the two floors above, so the building mixes shops or offices with housing.
The developer on the filing is an LLC set up for this property. The latest county filing is dated June 22, 2026. Searches found no news coverage, hearing notices, zoning decisions or developer project page about this address, so there is no public information yet on opposition, approvals or future tenants.
What it could mean nearby
- Eight new apartments would add housing along the Lancaster Avenue corridor.
- Reactivating vacant ground-floor commercial space could bring a shop or service to the block, though no tenant is known.

Where it stands
A filing was made with the county on 2026-06-22. No hearing or approval outcome was found online. Typically the city reviews the plans for zoning and building code compliance. If the plans need relief from the zoning rules, a zoning board hearing follows before construction permits are issued.
