Here's some info. on the tower, as originally proposed to the City Planning Commission in 2009:
Paula Brumbelow, planner for the PCPC Development Planning Division, gave a presentation outlining the major features this new construction development proposal on the site of the existing Sidney Hillman Medical Center, which is located in Rittenhouse Square. It is zoned “C-4” Commercial. The proposed development is a 30-story mixed-use structure, 336-feet in height, 322 residential units with offices, community rooms and fitness center, 9,230 square feet of retail space, 44,000 square feet of commercial office space, with 101 above grade parking spaces. The applicant has requested the following variances: required parking, setback and street frontage along Chestnut Street, side yard along Van Pelt Street, maximum gross floor area, maximum height at Chestnut Street, and size of loading spaces. Graphics were projected showing a rendering of the proposed development, including the tower portion of the building which has been moved further to the south and west, as a result of consultation with community members and the staff.
