from the Philadelphia Business Journal Bok Technical High School at 1901 S. 9th St. in South Philadelphia Co-working space will be part of the plans along with "dirty" space, where people can pay a fee to use equipment, such as a metal welder or 3-D printer, for products they make. And a portion of the building will be converted into live-work space as well as incorporating retail and restaurants. |

Personally, I love her London bravado and creativity - but if she wants to get a return for her $2million investment, she needs to keep this thing simple. |
Even though I know it's gonna have two more floors put on (right?), it's hard not to feel like it's really under-scaled for the corner. Lookit all those big buildings around it!

Given the diversity, both thematically and geographically, of firms moving to the city lately, it certainly seems like we're seeing a stable trend—both of the Philadelphia area maintaining and growing its stature as a good region for business and the city being the best place to locate within the region. |

According to The Bureau of Labor Statistics, job growth numbers for the city have been very steady since 2009. In spite of all the doom and gloom in Philly.com comments, we've actually seen solid job growth since the end of the recession in the city proper. Growth is happening across multiple job sectors. The only sectors that don't appear to be seeing an increase are manufacturing, information, and government services. http://data.bls.gov/generated_files/...BData_data.gif http://data.bls.gov/pdq/SurveyOutputServlet |

5 is better than 3 and the design is really great. But, in today's Philadelphia and on that corner, it's still a bit underwhelming. I'd think that anything less than 10 floors is a bit wasteful of such a prime lot.
|
Ohh, well that surely is better than just 3. Thanks for setting me straight.
Also that website is ridiculous. The "gallery" is a bunch of shots of other buildings. |
Hate to disappoint, but I believe the final plans call for 3 floors, not the 5 originally planned.

http://15andwalnut.com/avail.html http://15andwalnut.com/home.html To me, the rendering looks more interesting, but hard to tell since the building website does not provide detail: http://philly.curbed.com/archives/20...5th-walnut.php EDIT: Come to think of it, I think the rendering at the actual building site shows 3 floors as well. I'll take a look next time I walk by which is often. Hard to believe they would have it wrong there. |

Not sure if the base of it would be able to withhold an addition (a vertical addition). I'll leave that to the engineer-types here to expand upon. |
Cap over the hole over the train tracks in front of the IRS Building right on Schuylkill Avenue next to 30th Street Station. It looks pretty good! It will add more public plaza space to the area.

that is a seriously impressive cap
|
Looks pretty good! Though I do find it funny they kept the old barriers still in place....
