James and Micheline DeBerardine are transforming an aged office building near 12th and Vine Streets into what they say will be the city's biggest and most technically sophisticated dance venue.

The club, to be called NOTO - short for "Not of the Ordinary" - is part of the DeBerardines' plans for Vine Street just north of Chinatown, which also include 99 new apartments.

Promised at the dance venue are name-brand DJs from the Las Vegas-Amsterdam-Ibiza circuit, a speaker system built by Finnish soundsmiths, and VIP seating with flowing bottle-service champagne.

The pair paid $6 million for the 60,000-square-foot office building at 1209 Vine St. in February, according to records filed with the city. Plans call for a 1,000-person capacity club with offices on the building's upper levels.

The family later decided to buy the vacant lot next door to build a 16-story apartment building with a high-tech automated parking system. That plan will be presented to the Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corp. on Tuesday, said Sarah Yeung, the group's planning director.

Anticipated in the building are two ground-floor restaurant spaces, one to be run by Philadelphia chef Sylva Senat of Dos Tacos, James DeBerardine said. Food at NOTO also will come from Senat's kitchen, he said.
