The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
A reconsideration of an earlier zoning application is under way for a new apartment building at 6236 N Broad St in West Oak Lane, Philadelphia. The building would be attached to its neighbors and hold 31 apartments. It would have a roof deck, plus small structures that give residents access to that deck.
The plan includes 18 car parking spaces and 11 bicycle spaces. That is fewer car spaces than apartments, so the building leans on transit and walking. The county records do not say what is on the site now.
The firm named on the filing is Ingrams Housing Investment Group Inc. No news coverage, meeting minutes, hearing decisions or developer project page specific to this address were found, so nothing is known online about opposition, approvals or who will live there.
What it could mean nearby
- 31 new apartments would add housing along the Broad Street corridor.
- With 18 car spaces for 31 units, some residents may park on nearby streets, depending on how many own cars.
- The 11 bicycle spaces and the location on a major transit route would support getting around without a car.
Where it stands
The records show a reconsideration of a prior zoning application, last filed on 2026-05-18. No outcome was found online. Typically the city zoning board reviews the request, may hold a public hearing, and then issues a decision.
