A reader gave us the heads up about two zoning notices on vacant lots on 31st St. in Brewerytown, next door to a new construction home that we’ve actually told you about in the past. So we headed over there yesterday and snapped a couple of photos.

They were right

As promised, we did indeed discover two zoning notices at 1237-39 N 31st St., notifying the world about a hearing tomorrow for the construction of two single family homes. The developer appears to be Steph-Sin, the folks who recently built the home next door. Impressively, these were (and continue to be, until public record reflects it) PRA-owned lots that Steph-Sin was able to acquire and now is on the verge of developing. Great news for Brewerytown, indeed. We’ll be interested to see what these look like as they’re constructed- perhaps like the place next door?

Meanwhile, across the street, dirt continues to move around at the site of the future Bottom Dollar. You may recall, the groundbreaking took place about six weeks ago, and some progress appears to have taken place since then.

Slow progress is still progress

Clearly, we’ll keep you in the loop over here in the coming months, both in terms of the construction of the homes and the progress at the supermarket site.
