This actually looks awesome from a SEPTA regional rail train approaching from the upper PRR side. Really contributes to the skyline (and it’ll look even better when 115 S 19th gets built!)

Sorry to double post, but the diagrams page for this project lists it as topping 620 ft. From my vantage at Cira Green at the moment, that seems accurate. It is about as tall as the IBX building (which is about the same distance east away from Cira green, so parallax isn’t going to contribute much to making it seem taller).

looks sharp!

Philly is on the up and up! And those new highrises over by the 30th street station gives Philly a more international urban feel. Now we need to draw more international businesses in pharma and tech to this area.

Big improvement...and they had to. Where the camera was sitting at its previous spot looked to be at the max height of the adjacent bldg. However, they could of tilted it up but it would of been a lot of sky along with the view of the bldg.

Multimillion-dollar housing market in Philly is going strong



Quote:
The Laurel Rittenhouse Square condos

Starting price: $2.5 million

Address: 1911 Walnut St.

“We’re oceanfront property in Philadelphia,” Emmons said. “It just doesn’t get any better than Rittenhouse Square.”

The Laurel’s offerings include a luxury car service, an indoor pool and hot tub, a fitness center with a sauna, and a dog spa. Residents can access the services of a private jet charter company.

Most buyers have multiple homes in places such as the Jersey Shore and Florida and are looking for a place in the city, Emmons said.

“They don’t want the maintenance anymore that’s coming from a suburban lifestyle,” he said.

He expects more than half of the 64 condo units will be sold by late summer. About half of the buyers so far live within blocks of Rittenhouse Square but want to upgrade, he said. The first residents are expected by September of next year, and the building is scheduled to be completed that fall.

A penthouse is on the market for $25 million. The building also will include more than 180 apartments renting from $2,000 to $10,000 a month.

Is this a mix of condos and apartments? I thought they had decided to add more condos to the mix, more then the article above mentioned. The average floor has 4 units, and at a minimum of $2.5M each, that's working out to be a nice bit of change for the total build out. Good for them.
