Wow, the Sansom looks nearly complete! I think the cladding has turned out much better than I originally though.

Iroko Pharmaceutical's new headquarters in the neighborhood. IMO the building looks MUCH better from the other side.

Looks awfully quite over there. http://buildingphilly.com/john-c-anderson-apartments/ |
Info and renders about Penn's College House at Hill Square. Looks like 7 floors. Seems like they won't be developing the Eastern portion of the field... wonder if they are saving it for a taller tower later? That would be interesting
http://www.phila.gov/CityPlanning/pr...n_Combined.pdf Too lazy to post all the renders right now so take a look through |

This new project is intended to be the 12th college house in Penn's college house system for undergraduates, and not just generic student housing, so don't expect any additional buildings--tower or otherwise--on that field. :) It's also what Penn considers to be an important gateway to its campus, and a green space that it won't want to sacrifice. |

A problem with this design, however, will be Chestnut Street, betwee 32nd and 34th. It is going to rather dead. Maybe something with life can be built on the parking lot across the street. But right now, there is going to be a void between what Drexel is doing at 32nd Street and 34th Street life at Domus. |

This is what happens when the school itself builds a dorm and does not outsource. You get a fortress at street level. :shrug: |

From what I can see in the renderings--and from what I've read in verbal descriptions--Penn's new college house is intended to provide a traditional 24/7 residential college house experience and atmosphere, similar to Penn's 11 other college houses (like those in the historic and venerable Quad running from 36th to 38th along Spruce). So hardly a fortress, and more a modern rendition of the traditional grassy quads and greens located elsewhere on Penn's campus and on other traditional college and university campuses. |

The new Penn dorm will be much like my freshman year dorm, King's Court. And I hate to say it, KC (and for that matter, the Quad, Hill, etc) are fortress style buildings on the street level. |
