I’m assuming apartments since it’s Pearl? Would love to see them offer a few condos for sale.

Apartments are generally their MO but this is a great location and the entire upper half of building will have units with balconies looking out on Rittenhouse Square. Wouldn't be surprised if this project had some condos. Maybe apartments lower half, condos upper half?

Note that three of the buildings — 121 S. 19th St, 1822 and 1824 Chestnut St — are protected historic buildings on the Philadelphia Register and won't be substantially altered. In fact the Chestnut St buildings (minus non-historic later additions extending to Sansom St) were designated this year with no opposition from Pearl Properties.

This tower is nice; great height; slender build; very elegant. This tower really has an Art Deco feel in a way; in a way it looks almost International Style as well.

I wonder if this tower as any lighting scheme at night? What is the true impact of the tower on the scene in total?

I do believe this tower will fill in a gap in the skyline when you look down Chestnut street between Liberty 2 and the FMC/Philly Stock Exchange Tower; this also moves the skyline west of 18 street from 500' to closer to 600' in comes cases the Blue Cross Building will be an average height now because we'll now see 2 other towers close to the same height.

Has anybody noticed something else awesome? On the application form (in wee tiny letters on some of the paperwork) it states this project is by right. I'm sure somebody's gonna sue once they realize this thing's getting going, but nobody can stop it for some stupid persnickety reason (mah pahking waaa), woo!

^^^^^
I was wondering about zoning-----it wasn't too long ago that a proposed 20 or 25 stories at 19th & Chestnut, in a very classy design, caused alot of people great pain and suffering. I'm glad to hear that won't be the case here.

Has Pearl ever proposed a project in CC that didn't get built? I wonder if it will turn into some kind of race to see who can get started first, this or the tower on Sansom St. that Southern has proposed to replace a parking garage and the much shorter tower built over the old Freeman's auction house between Chestnut & Sansom? (and there might be one other project I'm forgetting)

I know that a builder has to have plans approved before the end of the year to still use the 10 year tax abetment, but when does construction have to start or finish to take advantage of the same?

God, some of the comments on the linked Instagram post are just stupid.

Until a few years back, I remembered the storefronts being leased as a flower shop and as a restaurant/nightclub. 119 S 19th St is a good project for a growing part of Center City and I hope this happens. It's no Mandeville Place, but this helps Rittenhouse Sq a lot.

Yeah, and they have been vacant (and badly painted) for some time now. Looks like the paint will be stripped, and they will be put back into use as part of this project. Woohoo!

If this was being proposed by anybody else, i’d say pipe dream. Pearl gets stuff done, this has a great chance to come to fruition. Very excited.
