Daily News | Apartment buildings will replace one-story auto-oriented businesses on Girard Avenue
The easternmost stretch of Girard Avenue is a dividing line between some of Philadelphia’s most popular, and heavily redeveloped, neighborhoods.
Two of them — the former 7-Eleven at 23 W. Girard and a bank at 130 W. Girard — are in line to be replaced by mid-rise apartment buildings with commercial space on the ground floor and without the surface parking lots that currently surround the properties.Both are within an easy walk of the Girard stop on the Market Frankford Line and the increasingly commercial and residential vibrancy under the train tracks.
Demolition permits for the 7-Eleven were issued on April 10, and the lot has since been fenced off. The developers, HK Partners and Alterra Property Group, expect to begin demolition in early May and then roll immediately into construction. The lot is triangular, bereft of trees or grass, and is largely comprised of a surface parking lot. Kennedy notes that the previous property owners declined to install bike racks or plant trees, unless pressed to do so by their tenants.
