^exactly. There’s a reason everything else failed there. You’re basically on a island right there.

With Biden cash, execs see a rare chance to cut Philly’s job-
crushing business taxes

This is a great idea and once in a lifetime opportunity. Hope we can make it happen but I know for a fact our city leaders are way too idiotic and short sighted to make the most of the situation and do what needs to be done to set Philadelphia on the proper path for business growth.

This looks terrific - especially with the 2222 Market project next door. West Market is blowing up.

"A 14-story overbuild project with 222 residential units, office space, and ground floor retail is being planned at 23rd and market."

J'adore!

Wowzers.

That is exactly what the 2300 block of Market needs! The energy drops off considerably west of 22nd Street, only to pick back up by 30th Street Station. With this, 2222 Market, Riverwalk, 2301 JFK, and the Trader Joe's tower, there should be a lot of new energy in the area!

Love it. It will have a real positive impact on that whole stretch of Market. With the Giant now open (which is incredible!), those last surface lots in the neighborhood really should disappear.

Good idea, but as you said, the more logical an idea, the less likely it is to gain traction with the motley bunch in City Hall. Especially the new "progressive wave"...ugh.


Also, the proposed project on Market Street looks fantastic! Lets move this along.

222-Unit, 14-Story Overbuild Project Planned at 23rd and Market

About a year ago, plans for a 180 room hotel project at 2300-2324 Market Street came to light. That plan entailed an overbuild that would bring the new structure to 11 total stories and also include office space.

It looks like the plans have grown and shifted to a residential, office, and retail mixed-use project.

In anticipation of the development team’s meeting with the Civic Design Review (CDR), project details and renderings have been released for a 14-story overbuild project at 2300-2324 Market Street that will include 222 residential units, 39,855 square feet of office space, 12,048 square feet of retail space, 8 onsite parking spaces, 52 offsite parking spaces, and 74 bicycle stalls. 200 residential units will be located in the overbuild structure while 22 residential units, the office space, retail space, and residential amenities will be located within the existing structures. The underground parking access and loading docs will be located behind the building on Ludlow Street.

23rd and Market

PS. I am not sure about height. I think that the 202' includes the height from ground level (Market Street runs above grade here).

Looks to be 187 feet tall. I think it's 15 feet above sea level here. Thanks for making the thread!

I assure you Helen Gym and Jamie Gauthier understand the importance of doing this more than Bobby Henon and Darryl Clarke.

This is definitely 300 feet tall, 2400 Market Street is 305 feet tall. Unless that was the previous designs height

No it isn't...

[TK2001]

True, thanks. Currently making a model, expect something tomorrow

I love they're putting residential on Market and keeping old façades.
