A new three-story building is proposed at 5426 Market St, at the corner of Market and Conestoga Streets in West Philadelphia's Cobbs Creek area. It will hold five apartments, one of them set aside as affordable, above commercial space on the ground floor. That commercial space has no tenant yet.
Philadelphia issued building permits in May 2025, according to a local development news site. County records show a July 2026 amendment that changed the layout of the commercial floor.
No opposition, hearing or named store tenant was found online. A reader comment on the news site claimed the building could cover a neighboring mural. That claim is unverified and does not come from the report itself.
What it could mean nearby
- Five new homes, including one affordable unit, would add to the local housing supply.
- The vacant ground-floor commercial space could host a shop or service on the Market Street corridor, but no tenant is known.
- Construction may bring short-term noise and street activity at the Market and Conestoga corner.
Where it stands
Building permits were issued in May 2025, and the plans were amended in July 2026. Work usually proceeds through construction and inspections, followed by a certificate of occupancy before anyone moves in.
