Bryheim Murray and Kyle Easley are trying to break into the development industry. In a lot of ways, they have already. Itâs been five years, and they regularly get more work and projects. But they are trying to get bigger.
Theyâve had a pretty impressive start. So far, their development group, BKP, has seven projects under its belt.
Their latest, in Brewerytown, is a three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom corner townhouse they call Taney St.
Their next project is their most ambitious yet, in Olde Kensington: They expect to break ground in January on a five-story, 20-unit apartment complex with commercial space, five parking spots, 15 bicycle spaces, a dog park, and a rooftop terrace. It will be the largest project theyâve done so far, named âThe Cecilâ after the late Cecil B. Moore, the Philadelphia civil rights activist.
