This is too nice to face 95. There is enough room on the other side of 2nd to fit a building. Either the city should approach National or vice versa (if they haven't already).

I thought "SoNo" was a joke, but I guess people are taking it seriously.

The other side of 2nd Street (the grass and fencing) that abuts I-95 is owned by PennDot. I would suggest the city get together with PennDot to make this entire stretch down along 2nd Street here a park/green space with nicer landscaped areas, benches, and more.

Posted this in the highrise thread but here's a rendering of the building entrance I hadn't seen before.

From this bizjournal article.

The building is essential V shaped. Most of the massing is along Spring Garden & 2nd and the back slash SW portion of the lot is essentially open to the sky

It's not nearly as huge as it looks. A lot of the lot is open which is good for the proposed pedestrian path.

Looks superb!

The idea here is that the pedestrian path you see on the right here (in the Spring Garden proposal) would connect to American Street below it all the way to the "woonerf" in the Adjmi proposal.

It does look great.

This building looks great but I think I would have made a single tulip shaped super column instead of that business there.

Can someone build a grassy knoll over i95, please? 😂. Love these proposals but would hate living next to i95 and the El

Very cool
This and a couple other nearby proposals reminds me a bit of K Street DC

I was always thinking that but didn't say anything. This proposal in particular looks like something from DC (not a bad thing).

SEFTA · #18 Posted **Jun 16, 2021, 10:26 PM**

No. Not a bad thing
Surprising direction for Spring Garden
I'd say a good thing
