Back in May, we first told you about plans for a new six story building at 249-57 S 13th St., which would replace a PPA garage. The 56-unit affordable housing building will be marketed toward seniors in the LGBT community, but residence in the building will be available to people of any orientation. A few months ago, it looked like this:

Garage

Demolition started at the end of October, and now the site looks like this:

No more garage

Some preliminary foundation work has begun

From the Philadelphia Business Journal, we were able to find a new and much more attractive rendering than we originally presented. Hopefully, the building will eventually look like the image below:

We’ll be sure to check back here in a few months to see how the building is progressing.
