Thank you, summers! :tup:
|
I appreciate the horizontal diversity of the massing (i.e., not flat), but this would look much better if each of the three "wings" were of various heights or if maybe the middle "wing" had another 10 floors.
|
Agree with the need for varying heights - although I'd prefer they go a step further and just cut out the middle part (above any street-level retail) and stack that square footage on a north tower and a south tower (2 towers total of different heights and different but complementing designs.) The gap between the 2 towers could be a green/public/park space.
The wall-like massing of this proposal is very poor. |
^ Touche! An even better idea that nets additional height while breaking up the building along the waterfront. I like it!

I think this would actually be a cool spot for a street level entertainment spot maybe a movie theatre or something with a bar or two and outdoor elements or something like a D&B. Along those lines at least. You can tap into the waterfront, penn and Drexel and the growing CC residential. Then the residential on top. Never gonna happen though ha

Doesn't the permit there have more detailed info? Can someone just take a more zoomed in picture of the permit itself at least so we have height etc.?
|
Pearl's Broad and Locust project sign has been up for a while without renderings or other supporting detail. Save for Summmers seeing it and cluing us in to the basics that would be a similar mystery. At least we know details are around the corner though.
