01 — The building
Five floors,
bottom to roof
Everything is stacked on a single lot. Here's what sits where.
-
A furnished green roof deck running the length of the building, with sprawling views over Center City. It is the reason most people sign here rather than a block over.
-
Fifty-six apartments across four residential levels. One-bedroom layouts between 650 and 675 square feet, with large windows on every elevation and a washer and dryer inside each unit.
-
Garage parking, a controlled-access lobby, and commercial space fronting the street. You get in off York Street and park without circling Frankford Avenue for forty minutes.
02 — The apartment
Newly built,
plainly finished
The building went up in 2020, so nothing here is a conversion or a patch job.
- KitchenFull stainless steel appliance package with granite countertops.
- BathroomFull bathroom, finished new with the building.
- LaundryWasher and dryer in the unit. No basement, no cards, no waiting.
- Hot waterAn individual water heater per apartment, so your shower does not depend on your neighbors.
- LightLarge windows on every level.
- SoundInsulated to International Building Code, a higher standard than Philadelphia requires.

03 — Neighborhood
Between Front
and Frankford
The building sits on East York Street in East Kensington, a block off the Frankford Avenue corridor. Philadelphia Brewing Company and Martha are directly across the street. Frankford runs south from your door into Fishtown's bars, coffee and record shops, and north into the rest of Kensington.
The Market–Frankford El puts you in Center City in about twenty minutes, and I-95 is close enough that leaving town on a Friday is not an ordeal.
