According to allovertown posted in the Philadelphia General Developments thread, there is machinery on site today moving dirt.

Yep. Dirt being moved around. 3 workers on site. Asked them if it was for the new apartment building and they said yes.

Yeah! I've been seeing those diggers from the train. Nice to see it finally getting built.

It will be cool to see in 2 years the drastic different views heading north and south on 95 or Columbus of the bridge surrounded by new buildings. This and 205 race should really add density to the area.

Agreed. Making sure to get a seat on the right side of the train everyday now. It'll be fun seeing this going up in 3 second increments each day.


There's like a 30 foot tall ramp of dirt above street level now.

Any one know the materials on this thing? Or is this more 1900 Arch-style dog shit from PMC?

They are really aiming to keep the vaunted legacy alive of such architectural disgraces as Penn Center House, the Stirling, and 2400 Chestnut. In 30 years, as the city's value continues to rise, we're all going to ask ourselves how in the hell we let so many pocks like this mark the face of our beautiful city...

Just so i feel better, other city's get crap like this built too, right? This is not just a Philadelphia "New York Prices, Baltimore Rents" - so lets build whatever shit can actually make us money - situation, is it?

All cities get some garbage architecture. No escaping it. I think this is a better design than 1900 Arch and the finished product will look better, but we'll see. PMC did 2040 Market as well and I think that building looks good.

For some reason I don't see this thread in the Philadelphia Projects & Construction forum. Any chance you could fix that?

Unfortunately I don't think that is something I can fix. I believe an admin has to set that up.

Walked by here 12/18, and there was a lot of activity… more dirt moving. Couldn't get a usable pic.

There is two excavators, a drilling rig and rebar on site. There will be no underground parking so they should be installing caissons soon.

Edit: in fact, that may be a rebar cage next to the drilling rig in Josef's picture. I can't tell.

This is officially under construction

About 10 caissons have been installed with at least 5 more rebar cages on site. Can't tell from this picture but they're there lol.

I wish this one was slender, it's going to look chunky at such a prime location, still glad for the infill, this area definitely needs it.

Slight correction...they are using Auger Cast Piles capped with concrete caps...Berkel is a national deep foundation system/auger cast pile subcontractor who has recently opened a Philly area office given the amount of activity in the city...given the right subsurface conditions and load requirements, auger cast piles can often be more economical than caissons....an an example, 500 Walnut was originally designed as a caisson job, but was value-engineered/redesigned to use auger cast piles...
