PHILADELPHIA | One Riverside | 260 FT | 22 FLOORS
Title: One Riverside
Project: 88 condominium units, parking Architect: Cecil Baker & Partners Developer: Dranoff Properties, Inc. Location: 25th and Locust, Philadelphia, PA Neighborhood: Fitler Square District: Center City Floors: 22 Height: 260 feet http://www.oneriversidecondos.com/wp...b-1024x470.jpg http://www.ocfrealty.com/sites/www.o...3-374x1024.jpg http://www.ocfrealty.com/sites/www.o...iew%20site.png http://www.ocfrealty.com/sites/www.o...nView-1072.jpg Dranoff Properties Inc. is proposing to construct a new residential tower in Center City called One Riverside. The Philadelphia developer is looking to build a 21-story structure on a parking lot at 25th Street between Locust and Manning streets in the Fitler Square neighborhood of the city, according to people familiar with the plans. It would sit near Locust on the Park, another one of Dranoff’s developments. One Riverside would have about 167 units and roughly 1,000 square feet of retail and amenity space such as a fitness center, game room and club room, according to various sources familiar with the proposal. The project would front the Schuylkill River Trail. Apartments would occupy floors 3 through 20 and the top floor would have five penthouse units. The site is currently zoned industrial. http://www.bizjournals.com/philadelp...le+Feedfetcher |

Love this plan. Love the green roof on the first floor parking and the idea of a cafe where Locust meets the trail. Would love even more to see this development incorporate a capping of the rail there to provide access to the trail (such as CHOP is proposing I believe). Eitherway, I totally understand that would be a huge cost and this looks good.

isn't it a shame that Philly seems to be compromised only of a long, rectangular lots--which creates the trend of this bland, broad, rectangular box?
City's with great skylines seem to have more square lots, where the building must gain its floor space from verticality and the shape of the plot lends itself to more elegant forms. With the exception of the Comcast Center and 1701 Rittenhouse, are there other recent/future examples of square plot construction? |

In the coming weeks/months rumor has it some of the big time spaces that are zoned for highrise/supertall will have announcements. They hopefully will not be your typical rectangle box. |

Those suspended balconies on that one end facing the Schuylkill are soooo sick. Love it, the NIMBYs can shove it.

The choice of materials is going to make a big difference in how well this building works with its surroundings. It is unique in being about the only tall building anywhere around that almost directly abuts the river. If the slab effect can be mitigated then this could be a very nice looking project.

From that picture, the boardwalk is coming along nicely.

The CDR offered some recommendations for changes tonight. The project DOES NOT have to go through the ZBA for approval. Dranoff has to go through L&I for final zoning permit once the CDR submits documentation of the meeting which will be in about 2 weeks
