At ~200 feet, this building would be one of the tallest in Old City. The set back tower from the street may grant the developer permission to develop the project.

The facade treatment is a keeper for sure. Something beyond the usual brick echo or curtain wall.

I would love to see them get rid of the lot that sits there now. This is a prime location for some upscale apartments/condos.
If they can add some retail to the lower level it would be great. |

What would be your interpretation of middle class income and do you believe new apartment/condo's at this location can seriously cater to middle class income with children/without children? |

Development at 2nd and Arch Changing Skyline: Old City plan deserves praise, not opposition Inga Saffron Fri, Sep. 14, 2012 http://www.philly.com/philly/home/20...pposition.html Quote: Forget the government's economic indicators. You know that Philadelphia's real-estate market is coming out of the doldrums when an old-time, bare-knuckle skyscraper fight breaks out in Old City. The scene is a familiar one: a surface lot at Second and Race Streets, hard by the Ben Franklin Bridge and the ramp to I-95. Back in the heat of the condo boom, Brown/Hill Development tried to transform the site into real-estate gold by hiring a big-name New York firm, SHoP Architects. They produced one of the city's best designs of the period, an accommodating 110-foot-high midrise. The Old City Civic Association loved it, but the market collapsed before it was built. Here is the website for the project, complete with petition to support.... http://www.205race.com/ I have to say, I really like it. I like the texture effect from the windows/cladding when looking westward. I also like the view east down Race, it has the feel of three story buildings, rather than a overwhelming building. |
That is an all kinds of nice design - looks a lot like some of what's going up in The Meatpacking District in Manhattan near The High Line.
|
I like the design; Looks very european.
|
This is recommended for approval by the Planning Commission :notacrook:
|
Score one for thoughtful design. Even Inga loved it. :)
