23-Story, 397-Unit Tower Planned at 2nd and Callowhill

The strip on 2nd Street between Spring Garden and Callowhill is in for a major transformation. In this part of town, 2nd Street is bordered on the east side by the Interstate 95 offramp and a bunch of industrial buildings on the west side. These couple of blocks, and especially the intersection of 2nd and Callowhill, are ruled by the automobile. As a pedestrian, try walking from the west side of 2nd Street towards the river. It’s a real life game of Frogger.

There are currently no plans for road diets at the intersection, but the northwest corner is in for a big change. National Real Estate Development, the group who recently redeveloped a large swath of East Market, along with Kushner Real Estate Group plan on building a 23-story tower at 412 N. 2nd Street, the location of an old distribution center.

The tower will rise 244 feet tall (260 feet to the top of the bulkhead) and will include 397 residential units. 20,400 square feet of commercial space and 106 parking spaces will also be included in the development. 10,692 square feet of the commercial space will be located in an adaptively reused section of the existing building.

One of the most interesting pieces of this project is the reopening of American Street through the property and the additional public space included in the development. A programmed, pedestrian-focused street will run between the section of the old building on the west side of the street and the tower podium on the east side of the site. Both sides of the street will be lined with commercial spaces. Although this street will be geared towards pedestrians and bicyclists, automobiles will still be allowed access to the road.
