New $24M ‘Gateway’ Project Brings 100-Plus Apartments to Fishtown

The Isaac, a new housing project on the Fishtown-Norris Square border, adds more than 100 new apartments to the area.

A Conshohocken-based developer has delivered a new project that brings 105 residential units to Fishtown, writes Ryan Mulligan for the Philadelphia Business Journal.

The Isaac, as the unit is called, is nestled against the Berks Street SEPTA station, and sits on the border of Fishtown and Norris Square.

The project also features 6,500 square feet of retail space in which the developer, How Group, hopes to lease to a restaurant.

“We saw the opportunity to be part of kind of shaping the way a whole part of the city ends up getting developed,” said How Group Partner Gary Jonas Jr.

The project features 30 studios, 65 one-bedroom units, and 10 two-bedroom apartments.

Rent ranges from $1,250 to $1,380 for the studios; $1,400 to $1,705 for the one-bedrooms; and $1,970 to $2,150 for the two-bedrooms.

How Group hopes the building can become part of the fabric of the burgeoning corridor in a location that Jonas Jr. said the community saw as a “gateway.”

The project’s total cost was $24.4 million.
