Renderings of a mixed-use project in Olde Kensington were
revealed yesterday in advance of the Civic Design Review meeting in March. The
five-story development is nowhere near as large as the proposed Blatstein project on South Broad, but
given its size of 24,373 square feet it's required to undergo the CDR process.
The proposed project at 1222 N. 2nd Street, designed by Harman
Deutsch Architects and being developed by Blackstone Development,
consists of eight loft-style, live-work spaces on the first floor, as
well as commercial space. The rest of the floors are dedicated to 78
apartments, a mix of studio, 1-, and 2-bedroom units each with their own
balconies. The renderings reveal that the fourth floor will feature a green
roof terrace.
A parking garage with 50-plus spaces and 29 bike spaces
is also included in the proposal.
Currently, the property is zoned industrial, which means
in addition to the CDR meeting on March 1 the project will have to be rezoned
for mixed-use.
