The project is a new three-story attached building at 613 Brooklyn St in West Philadelphia's Haverford North area. It has a wood frame, a roof deck and balconies. County records show the plans were amended to 13 apartments.
A local real estate blog post from June 2025 appears to describe this site. It says a permitted project of eight units near 42nd and Haverford would replace a roughly 4,000 sq ft lot. The lot held a two-story house in front and an older building in back, and the post says those were demolished. If that post is about this site, the plan grew from eight to thirteen homes through the amendment. The post does not name the developer, so the match is not certain.
No news coverage, hearing notices or opposition were found. Nothing was found on who will live there.
What it could mean nearby
- Up to 13 new apartments would replace a small lot that held a house and an older rear building.
- A larger building on a small urban lot adds more residents to a block that is already dense.
- Roof deck and balconies are private outdoor space for residents, not public open space.
Where it stands
The county's latest filing, dated 2025-08-11, covers the amendment to thirteen units, and no later approval or completion was found. After an amended permit, the usual next steps are city review and sign-off, construction, then inspections before people can move in.
