At the border of Port Richmond and Kensington, an initiative to boost multi-family housing opportunities is taking shape. A new three-story, 11-unit residential building is proposed in place of a vacant and deteriorating warehouse. A split brick facade featuring two contrasting colors on the wide building frontage matches the rhythm of this typical Philadelphia rowhome block. Large openings for windows and recessed balconies create a sense of openness and result in a brighter and more welcoming atmosphere.
