Eh... The way it's designed, it looks to be very suburban in nature. I mean, listen to the guy's assinine comments on its design:
Wine began work on the project four years ago, comparing the tastes of people here with those in New York, Las Vegas and Florida, where he considered building projects.
"New Yorkers are extroverts. Philadelphians like privacy... and larger units," he said.
So he came up with his plan for a gated riverside community, with a three-acre garden framed by the river and five buildings, arranged to avoid casting shadows on one another.
Wine said his research found many people who "like to be next to the city. They don't want to drive three-quarters of an hour or more to work, but they want quiet," he said.
And they want parking. "There will be plenty of parking, for the residents and their dinner-party guests, under the garden," as well as docks for the residents' boats, Wine said.
Sounds like LA, not Philadelphia. Blah, that's what most of these condo highrises are though.
