Since the 1980s, Northern Liberties has gone through more rises and falls than the Roman Empire.⁠ ⁠ Its current ascent is seeing 5,200 new homes in mostly mid- to high-rise projects permitted over the last four years, according to the Northern Liberties Neighbors Association.⁠ ⁠ The current development boom can be seen throughout the community.⁠ ⁠ ◆ On Spring Garden Street, three high-rise projects are going up from major developers such as the Southern Land Co.⁠ ◆ On the site of the former Vesper Day Club, Ori Feibush is building for-sale townhouses and renovating a nearby historic church for apartments.⁠ ◆ The last vacant lots and buildings are being filled in, including a warehouse on Second Street that created a dead zone on the vital commercial corridor.⁠ ⁠ And the centerpiece of the action is a 1,126-unit apartment complex from the Post Brothers, a high-end development that the neighborhood hasn’t previously seen.⁠ ⁠ The big question? Whether Northern Liberties, and developers such as the Post Brothers, can retain these residents as they start having families.⁠ ⁠ We dig in at the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ 📝 by Jake Blumgart / Staff⁠ 📸 Courtesy of Post Brothers
