The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
The developer, 7372 Henry LLC, is asking Philadelphia's zoning board for permission to build 40 apartments at 7372-78 Henry Ave in Upper Roxborough. The plan is for twenty three-story buildings, each standing on its own, all on one lot. The site would also have 80 off-street parking spaces, or two for each apartment.
A zoning appeal asks the city for an exception to the zoning rules. That usually means the proposal does not fit what the current zoning allows by right.
An online real estate listing for the same address describes a lot of about 3.4 acres. The listing says the lot is zoned for single-family detached homes and has a large church-type building on it. The listing page could not be opened to confirm this. No news coverage, hearing decision, or developer project page was found.
What it could mean nearby
- Forty new apartments would add housing in Upper Roxborough, with more residents and more daily car trips on Henry Ave and the streets around it.
- The plan includes 80 off-street parking spaces, which may limit parking on nearby streets. The records do not say how well that would work.
- Replacing a large existing building with 20 three-story buildings would change how the site looks and how it is used. The records give no details on open space or on utilities.
