PHILADELPHIA | The Freeman Condominiums @ 1810 Chestnut | 312 FT | 26 FLOORS
The phrase, "those in glass homes" won't have to apply here, since luckily the developers seem to have covered all of the walls in concrete:
Title: The Freeman Condominiums at 1810 Chestnut Street Project: Residential Architect: Cecil Baker + Eric Leighton Developer: Astoban Location: 1810 Chestnut Neighborhood: Rittenhouse Square District: Center City Floors: 26 Floors Height: 312 Ft http://www.rising.realestate/wp-cont...g-1024x827.png Previous plans: https://i.imgur.com/sJzhAKm.png https://i.imgur.com/y8LlniT.png Submission to Historical Council https://www.phila.gov/media/20190618...SsNWo86k7Ccjwk |
I really hope the front of this building is glass. It has to be - right?

The Historical Commission... Liked this one? Weirdly? Maybe that means it isn't all concrete:

Not Baker’s worst by any means, but I can’t help but wish this building was designed to match the gorgeous style of its base. |
This project looks great! Also looks to be up to 24 floors now in total. Build it! :cheers:

They also intend to retain the Freeman signage on the western side of the present building by keeping that wall of the elevator house intact.
"Preservation of the painted Freeman's Auction graphic is proposed. To achieve this, the west wall and a portion of the north wall of the existing elevator overrun and machine room will be retained. An enclosure similar to the original mass will be part of the 7th floor dwelling unit, providing natural light and access to a terrace at the existing roof level. The roof of this terrace is proposed to be a terrace for the 8th floor dwelling unit." https://www.phila.gov/media/20200518...hestnut-St.pdf https://www.phila.gov/media/20200610...nut-St-rev.pdf |
This will take a long time to find the necessary funding to do the construction.
