The developer plans a new four-story apartment building at 203 Leverington Ave in Manayunk. It would hold 27 apartments and share a wall with a neighboring building (the county calls this semi-detached). A structured parking garage for 32 cars would be built into the project. Plans also show a roof deck and bicycle parking.

The new building would go on a lot of about 9,800 square feet. That lot is next to an older building at 201 Leverington Ave, which is being renovated into apartments. The site is zoned for medium industrial use, and city permits approve residential use there. The permit lists a construction cost of about $5.6 million.

PhillyYIMBY's May 2026 coverage reported that permits had been issued. No opposition or hearing coverage was found for this address.

Want to weigh in? Permits are already issued, so there is no known pending public vote. Residents can contact the Manayunk Neighborhood Council or the city's Department of Licenses and Inspections with questions.
