PHILADELPHIA | Chinatown Eastern Tower | 252 FT | 21 FLOORS

Title: Chinatown Eastern Tower Community Center Project: 144 Rental Units, 15,000 sqft of Office Space, 12,000 sqft of Retail Space, 46 car garage, community center, recreation center Architect: KlingStubbins Developer: PCDC/ Teras Holdings Location: 1001 Vine St., Philadelphia, PA Neighborhood: Chinatown North District: Center City Floors: 21 Height: 252 ft The Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation plans to build a 24-story, 282-foot-high residential and office tower, with a community center on the ground floor, on two parcels at the northwest corner of Vine and 10th streets. The communities strong desire for a community center prompted the project, but constructing a stand-alone center proved prohibitive, therefore the PCDC joined with private developer Teres Holdings to iron out a more solid economic plan. Floors 1 and 2 will be the community center, floors 3-5 will be office space and floors 6-21 will be residential. There will also be a parking garage... possibly located underground? |
I super dig it. And I love that it'll help build up the north of Vine stock of tall buildings.

I agree, a lot of good things are happening in Callowhill/ Chinatown North. I can't wait to see this area grow.
|
That's a nice looking design! - very modern.

Some news on this today.
It's approved by the planning commission. PCDC's goal is to start construction next year. The building will be 23 floors high, have 15,000 square feet of office space, 12,000 square feet of retail space, a Chinatown Community Center, 144 rental units and a small 46 car garage. A recreation center within the community center will include a gym, a play area with a pool table, a basketball court and a volleyball court. http://planphilly.com/chinatown-new-...inancing-stage Hopefully this along with the redevelopment of the Reading Viaduct into a park will help spur more development in this area. |

I wonder if the never-ending planning for this tower is a nice justification for the PCDC and their questionable track record of doing anything. According to their own website, they haven't had an "accomplishment" in 6 years. http://chinatown-pcdc.org/about/accomplishment/ |
I agree that this is looking less and less likely as time goes by, but I'm not ready to give up on it completely. from the Hidden City article summersm linked to:
