The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
A new four-story apartment building is proposed at 716 N 43rd St in the Haverford North area of West Philadelphia. It would hold 20 homes. It would be semi-detached, which means it shares a wall with a neighboring building. It would have a partial basement, a front porch and a small structure on the roof so workers can reach rooftop mechanical equipment.
A local news outlet reported in July 2026 that building permits were issued. It put the project at about 21,446 square feet, with seven bicycle parking spaces. It named LA88 Remod Inc as the contractor and an architecture firm as the designer. The property is owned by 716 43rd LLC, according to the county filing. The articles found do not say what is on the site now. They also do not say whether the units will be rentals or for sale, or who will live there.
No opposition, hearing or community meeting was found online.
What it could mean nearby
- Twenty new homes would add residents and housing supply to the Haverford North area.
- Only seven bicycle spaces were reported, and no car parking was mentioned in the sources found. Street parking demand is therefore unclear.
- Construction will likely bring typical noise, truck and sidewalk disruption on N 43rd St for a time.
Where it stands
Building permits were reported as issued in July 2026, so the project has passed city review and can start construction. Next steps are usually inspections during construction, then a final certificate of occupancy before anyone moves in.
- Jul 21, 2026 A local news outlet reported that permits were issued for the 20-unit building.
