We were in Francisville earlier today and came across some zoning notices at the northwest corner of 15th & Cambridge.
Though the zoning notices are posted at the corner, they're actually for 926 N. 15th St., a vacant lot that's a wee bit to the north. Standing at this corner, we felt a sense of deja vu, and then we realized that we've written about this very corner once before. Like, four years ago. Back then, we told you that developers were planning to develop 924 N. 15th St., though you can see that the lot remains as vacant today as it was back then. In 2014, new developers purchased both of these lots and are now planning triplexes for both. Condos or rentals are in play, given the location, and we'd bet that the projects will actually happen this time. In case you're wondering about the vacant lots at the corner, a developer bought them from the City at the end of last year (whoa!) so look for similar developments here in the future.
Speaking of slowly moving projects, you may recall we told you last summer about plans for five additional triplexes on the adjacent 1500 block of Cambridge Street. As is the case with the still-vacant lots on 15th Street, the property on Cambridge Street remains as it was back in August. But we'd be surprised if it takes another three years for those buildings to get underway.
