The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
The county filing describes a new apartment building at 3117 Master St in Brewerytown, Philadelphia. It would be four stories plus a mezzanine (a partial extra level) and hold 20 apartments. The plans include a shared roof deck, private roof decks and a garage for parking.
Online, the lot appears on a real estate listing and in a local real estate newsletter. The listing offers the land and plans for sale at about $1.25 million. It describes a roughly 7,200 to 7,400 square foot lot, a mix of studio to three-bedroom units, and a location in a federal Opportunity Zone (a tax-incentive area). The listing calls the plans approved and says five stories, which differs from the county's four stories plus a mezzanine. The listing also doesn't name the owner, so the link to the firms on the county filing is not confirmed. No news coverage, opposition or hearing records were found.
What it could mean nearby
- Adds 20 homes in Brewerytown, which could add residents near local shops and transit.
- The accessory garage suggests some parking would be on-site, which may reduce street parking demand, though no traffic study was found.
- Construction would bring temporary activity, noise and truck traffic to the block.
Where it stands
A county filing was made on 2026-05-22. A separate listing suggests the plans may already be approved and the property may be for sale, but this was not confirmed in city records. If so, the next steps would be building permits, then construction, unless a new owner changes the plans.
