Over the summer, we told you all about The Nine, a development of new construction homes on the 1700 block of Tulip St. At the time, only six of The Nine homes were built. In the past month, construction has gotten underway on the final three homes, it looks like the development will be complete by springtime.

The three on the right are now being built

Like the original six homes, the three new homes will feature three bedrooms plus a study, 2.5 bathrooms, roof decks, parking, and private yards. They will also have the same industrial look as the other homes, fitting in well with the reused (and not yet reused) industrial buildings on the block. Green construction materials will again play a role, with bamboo floors, high-efficiency insulation and low VOC paint used in all the homes.

Yesterday. They're moving quickly.

The two homes on Tulip St. are fully framed out and the windows are in

The home on the corner should be fully framed out in the coming days

As of today, two of the three new homes are already under contract. The middle home, 1718 Tulip St., is still available, and is listed for $399K. All but one of the original six homes are either occupied or under contract, with just 1702 Tulip St., the development’s model home, still available. Considering the excellent location and the popularity of the other homes in the development, we imagine both will sell fairly quickly.

Though the Nine is wrapping up, don’t think that this developer is anywhere near done building in Fishtown. We just got word that they have another exciting project in the works for Trenton Ave. that’s set to break ground in the Spring. We should have some more on that project in the next week or so…
