Leasing at hotly anticipated luxury apartment building with high-end retail to begin on Sept. 18
U.S. Development is helping the last remaining undeveloped pocket of one of Philadelphia’s fastest-growing neighborhoods reach its full potential. The company completed construction of Frankford Grand, a 107-unit project in the city’s Fishtown neighborhood.
Located at 1120 Frankford Ave. – the gateway to the Heart of Fishtown, Frankford Grand also includes 15,000 square feet of retail space spanning two floors. Apartment leasing is underway at the five-story luxury building spanning two city blocks, with leasing commencing on Sept. 18. The 107 apartments include a mix of 50 studios, 32 one-bedrooms and 25 two-bedrooms.
“Our vision was to take one of the last undeveloped parcels remaining between Fishtown and Northern Liberties and deliver a dynamic building bridging the two neighborhoods,” said John Farina, CEO of U.S. Development. “There is no other centrally located development like Frankford Grand, which gives residents the opportunity to enjoy the best lifestyle in Fishtown.”
Amenities are what make Frankford Grand stand out from anything previously developed on Frankford Avenue. The sprawling panoramic roof deck boasts unmatched views of the Center City skyline and includes an outdoor kitchen with dual grilling areas and shaded terraces for al fresco dining experiences; a south-facing sun deck to maximize enjoyment of the city’s warmer seasons; and a sky garden with a lush botanical setting surrounded by crepe myrtle trees and a firepit area.
The building’s ground level features a full-size gym and private courtyard garden with bocce courts. The outdoor courtyard will host many of Frankford Grand complimentary social events.
“Frankford Avenue has yet to have a building with our amenity offering,” said Dustin Salzano, CFO of U.S. Development. “You can now live in the heart of Fishtown with an exceptional living experience while enjoying the best the neighborhood has to offer at your doorstep”
Just northeast of Philadelphia’s Center City, Fishtown is a neighborhood with a working-class history that today attracts the cutting edge in culinary, art and music trends. In a nod to Fishtown’s history, character and present-day appeal, Frankford Grand’s design combines a brick façade and black loft-style windows, fusing industrial heritage with modern touches.
The property features two prominent retail spaces constructed to accommodate a variety of uses including neighborhood retail, restaurant, bar or entertainment. Additionally, each of the retail spaces has generous exclusive outdoor patio areas for additional customer seating. The developer expects to attract best-in-class operators to join the ever-growing and dynamic Fishtown market.
