上に

うえに

As well, Besides, In addition to

そのジムは安やすい上うえに、私わたしの家いえから近ちかい。

As well as being cheap, that gym is close to my house.

Explanation

「上に」 means 'not only... but also...': it adds one more fact in the same direction. Both parts must be judged the same way: both good or both bad. 「この料理は安い上に、とても美味しい」 (This dish is cheap and also very tasty), 「道に迷った上に、雨まで降ってきた」 (I got lost and on top of that it started to rain). It follows the plain form; nouns take 「の」 and na-adjectives take 「な」.

Mixed up with

「〜だけでなく」: neutral 'not only', the two parts need not agree in feeling.

「〜上に」: both parts must agree: good plus good, or bad plus bad.

「その上」: a connecting word at the start of a sentence.
