What This Apartment Offers
Welcome to the future! Internationally acclaimed & awarded architect developers Onion Flats have done it again!! Onion Flats built the City of Philadelphia's... first LEED Certified Homes, then Pennsylvania's first LEED Platinum Duplexes. Now, Onion Flats builds the United States' second Net Zero Multi Unit apartment building, after they finished the first one a few years ago!!! They have done it again; better (for the planet), faster (for you to move in!!), cheaper (for your total monthly costs!!!) Location! Space! Amenities! Price! Welcome home!! FRONT FLATS is a design driven collection of very high quality, high performance, sustainable, & moderately priced homes in the heart of Norris Square, and the gateway to Fishtown. Design & Construction adhere to the Passive House building science w super insulated windows, walls, floors, & ceilings. This provides a superior level of thermal & sound insulation. Additionally, each unit features hardwood floors, tiled baths, Blomberg stainless appliances, quartz counters, custom backsplash, washer & dryer, bicycle storage & personal storage unit. Now, onto the super sexy part...this building is built with a renewable sustainable Photo Votiac Solar Powered System, meaning the Sun s energy has been harnessed to provide heating, cooling, and lighting to warm your soul!! The roof (AND VERTICLE WALLS!!!, WHAT?!?!?) are covered in an 176 kilowatt (WHAT???, THAT S HUGE!!!) Solar PV Array that would make Elon Musk blush!! Oh, other than fancy Cocktail Conversation" what does that mean to You??? Well...all your UTILITIES ARE next to nothing, of course! What?!!?!?! For Real!?!?!? Yes, $125 per month Flat Fee for all Utilities...never get slammed with a $400 heating / air conditioning / electric bill again! Go on!! 94 Walk Score...but that's only because Walk Score isn't as progressive as Onion Flats!! Further, you are a block to the Berks St El Stop on Market-Frankford SEPTA line, so getting anywhere is simple. Viva La Revolucion of modern design married to Mother Earth...for the love our our Planet!!"
