The Hawthorn at 1818 N 53rd St — Building & Retail Space Overview

1818 N 53rd St is part of a striking new residential and mixed-use development in the Wynnefield neighborhood of Philadelphia — a well-connected West Philadelphia community just a few miles from Center City.

🏙️ The Building — The Hawthorn

The Hawthorn is envisioned as a modern mid-rise multi-family building that replaces a former structure on the site. Designed by KORE Design/Design Pro Development, the project will bring around 98 thoughtfully designed residential units — a mix of contemporary one- and two-bedroom apartments — to this dynamic neighborhood.

• The building features a modern, attractive facade that blends well with surrounding streetscapes and includes thoughtful materials like brick, composite siding, and well-appointed detailing to elevate its presence in the community.

• It rises several stories with configured space for parking (dozens of car and bike spaces), supporting both residents and visitors.

• The development emphasizes livability and neighborhood integration, with pedestrian-friendly design and proximity to transit, local parks (including Fairmount Park nearby), and neighborhood amenities.

🛍️ Retail / Commercial Space

At the street level of The Hawthorn, a dedicated retail/commercial space is available — an exciting opportunity for businesses looking to establish a presence in a growing residential hub. While exact square footage and layout details should be confirmed with the developer or listing broker, renderings and project plans indicate:

• Ground-floor commercial space suited for retail, café/food use, service-oriented business, or community-facing operations.

• The space is intended to activate the building frontage and contribute to the neighborhood’s street life, enhancing both resident convenience and neighborhood vibrancy.

• Placement along North 53rd Street provides strong visibility and accessibility from surrounding residential blocks and bus transit lines.
