That is not an official rendering, yet they've begun construction and they're almost finished with the foundation. |
Apparently 582 ft., 52 stories.
Can't wait for a render. http://nakedphilly.com/rittenhouse/u...-and-chestnut/ |

This post gives up to date info. They went before the CCRA and posted in their Agenda Outcome was some telling info. about the possibile height of the new hotel. |
Anywhere close to 582 and this is a really nice addition
|
52 floors and 582 feet seems to be the talk around town... the architects are also going to be Cope Linder... who are the same Architect firm that designed the first Waldorf-Astoria design. Also, all parking will be below ground now.
Can't wait to see renders :banana: |

1919 Market is the only other non-dead one that has potential of 600+, if I recall correctly. I doubt Cira 2 will be 800-1,000 like anticipated. |
I am excited to see how this project and the new apartments at The Sansom impact the activity on the street. 500+ hotel rooms and 104 new apartments all in a 2 block area should give the retail in the area a pretty big lift.

quick question, is this near center city? as in around the skyline area (where most of the buildings are) or is this furthur out somewhere :D

Cope Linder was to be the architect of note for whatever ended up being built on that site apparently. They've been responsible for every version of 1441 Chestnut up to Waldorf-Astoria.
-Filipe-, the site is a block east of Liberty Place and block south of City Hall. It doesn't get any more Center City than that. |
thank you both :D
|
If 582 feet becomes the final height figure, this proposal should be approximately 70 feet taller than the Residences at The Ritz-Carlton.
Hopefully an architectural rooftop feature would make this proposal stand out a bit more. |

Anyone have any news on the life of this project? Bit worried it (and 1919 Market) may be dead.
|
Most projects like this tend to be start-stop until there's actually concrete in the ground.
