The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
The project at 6327 Musgrave Street is a proposed four-story apartment building with 67 homes, a cellar and a green roof. County records say it will be fully sprinklered. It is listed as using zoning bonuses for mixed-income housing and for a green roof.
Philly YIMBY, a local development news site, reported in January 2026 that a construction permit had been issued. The zoning approval dates to June 2022. The report lists a construction cost of about $6.1 million and a total building area of roughly 58,700 square feet. It also describes brick walls, balconies on floors two to four, and a roof deck. An earlier report noted that construction had not yet started.
No opposition, hearing or meeting coverage was found. The article does not say who will live there or what is on the lot now. No information was found about Dalton Capital's role.
