Buildable CapacityBeta

CMX-3Commercial Mixed-Use

Zoning Envelope

Max Height: No limit
Lot Coverage: 75%
FAR: 5.0x; 500%
Max GFA: 5 sf
Max Units: 1; FAR-based

Building Code (IBC Ch. 5)

Construction Type: Type IV-C; mass timber · ~$138/sf base
Stories to Realize FAR: ~7; No height cap — FAR ÷ coverage
Net Realizable Units: 1; 80% net-to-gross vs. 1 gross

Realizing this zoning envelope needs about 7 stories — above the 4-story wood-frame limit — so it requires Type IV-C (noncombustible or mass timber). Zoning permits the density; the building code raises the hard cost to reach it.

Model a specific massing to see the construction type it requires (zoning capacity above is unchanged):

StoriesFloor plate (SF)

By-right capacity based on Philadelphia Zoning Code §14-701. Actual development potential may vary based on overlays, variances, setbacks, parking requirements, and site conditions.Utilization and redevelopment potential data will be available after the next data update.
