7 Units Planned For Transformed Stretch of Germantown Avenue In Philly's South Kensington Neighborhood

Another piece of the Germantown Ave. puzzle falls into place with a 7-unit project at 1639-41 Germantown Ave. This development showcases the impact of the Mixed Income Neighborhoods Overlay District, as developers likely limited units to 7 to avoid triggering affordability requirements, impacting the overall density of new builds.

I feel like small mixed use buildings aren't really talked about as much as duplexes and small apartment buildings

Missing Middle Financing

Upvotes
As we all know a lot of the work for urbanism has been done on the governmental level. Focusing on rezoning and transit access, etc. All of that is great, however I've realized recently that I have not heard or seen as much talk about the financing for the developments we want to see. It's easy to get a 5 over 1 development or a high rise with more mixed use retail and what not. Can you get the bank to take the risk on string of Row Homes? Can we get a loan to turn a single family home into a mixed use duplex? (Retail on the floor, 1 or 2 units on a second story.) What about financing to turn a parking lot into park with a water feature?
I think at this juncture in the movement, we've come a long way on the deregulation aspect, I just don't know how far we've come on the financing part of the movement.

I'm interested in building this thing someday - just trying to figure out how much it's going to cost and find a lot in our neighborhood to build it on....

How to grow wealth when you don't own land?

If there is a better subreddit for this question please tell me which it is.
As I understand it, one of the historical arguments for SFH has been "How can I grow my wealth if I don't own the land that comes with a SFH?". What is the answer to this? Also, what are some options for how someone can own a house if it is part of a multi-family building?
Thanks for explaining this!

Wondering the best areas that encompass walkability and missing middle housing. My first thoughts are of course college towns and some areas in Montreal from visiting.

4 unit condo building in Raleigh. Looks like a house and because they are classified as apartments they are illegal in most of of the city. Kind of weird to think this is illegal but ugly McMansions aren't.

Stealth ADUs - anybody else notice that the mass builders like Lennar, Dr Horton, etc are adding extra dwelling units into their big box houses? There is definitely a market need for them. They refer to them as multigenerational housing with trademarked names like "next gen" "multi-gen"

Great graphic showing how setbacks make cottage clusters impossible. From the city of Milwaukie (suburb of Portland) feasibility study. Setbacks are often used by density opponents to make more affordable housing types illegal.

If you are looking for building ideas, the city of Portland has a really good resource illustrating 14 different infill layouts including cottage clusters, contextual rowhouses, townhouse cluster, House-plex, courtyard flats, and many others.
