PHILADELPHIA | One Water Street | 198 FT | 16 FLOORS

[McBane]

Driving down 95 or 676, this building makes a huge impact and demonstrates to passerby our city's vibrancy and growth. Looks good so far and I think the impact on the street level will be even better.

As I've said before on this thread, at this point Delaware Ave needs three things, all of which are present in this project:

1) Density and critical mass to attract more people, to attract more retail, to attract more foot traffic

2) Buildings that are built to the sidewalk, unlike Waterfront Square, Sugarhouse, or the shopping centers.

3) Active retail on the ground floor

If we're lucky to get another 10 projects like this on Delaware Ave, then we can start getting choosey and criticizing the exterior materials, height, etc.
