I don't expect this thread to be very busy anytime soon, considering they don't plan on starting until 2021. Title: 300 N. Columbus Boulevard Project: Apartments, ground floor retail Architect: Handel Architects Developer: Durst Location: 300 N Columbus Blvd, Philadelphia, PA District: Center City Neighborhood: Penn's Landing Floors: 24 Height: 314 Ft https://i.imgur.com/WwFknrw.jpg Durst closes on Delaware River waterfront development site in $10 million deal with Philadelphia Quote:

Looks great! The Delaware Waterfront needs more development. Build it!
|
Good density. Hopefully they'll improve the street level.

I give this a 12.7% chance of being built.
:haha: kidding, just tryina beat that other guy to the punch |
I didn’t think you could build that high there. Terrible scale. Make the height lower, or break it up with two slender towers.

Hell, if this tower was 400+' I'd be fine with it. We need more density on the waterfront. Also, this is my obligatory comment for any thread dealing with the waterfront: Bring back the Delaware Ave trolley. |

this is super blocky. happy to see development but personally i don't like the design. looks like a throw back to the 1980s. |
Yeah, I think the model is a little off, PMC's One Water Street is what 16-17 floors. The rendering makes this look like it is 40 floors tall.
Either way, build it! Remember we once had Bridgeman View Tower over 900ft proposed in the area, and a Trump Tower over 500 feet, and the World Trade Square. BVT might've been a bonkers proposal, but if the riverfront ended up with a long stretch of 250-500 footers, hell yeah. Also, if this gets built I am sure the plot of land next to it finally gets built as well. Remember the more recent plans for 'Renaissance Plaza' - nothing wrong with height here. |
I revised the image above to be 290'

This definitely clears the 200' mark. |

Sefta's model should be a bit narrower, I believe. It does not extend all the way to the corner; there is a pocket park on the northern end, where the major archeological remains of the 17th-century shipyard are believed to be buried. Likewise, the drawing indicates it is seven bays wide, not ten.
|
I'm not nitpicking but the building also doesn't take up the whole lot . The NE corner of the property will be a park.
|
^ Yes, looks like maybe 1/3 of the block or so on the north side will be park + the other property.
Model looks good though. Appreciate these, SEFTA. |

Yes. I meant 290'

Frankly, the closer I look at the project, the less I like it.

The 1970's called. They want their building design back.
Not a fan of how this looks currently. |
Such lazy architects
