3675 Science Center
37th and Market

3675 Market Street, a 12-story, 325,000 SF Class A laboratory/office building. The project is currently in the design phase with a projected start date in late 2015. The project requires the demolition of an existing parking garage and office building. The removal of these buildings allows for site re-configuration that will allow for a future extension of 37th Street from Filbert to Market Street in addition to the proposed new lab/office building and plaza. The project will serve as the cornerstone as the Science Center expands its mixed-use environment to the former University City High School site. The building will contain flexible wet laboratory space, computational laboratory space, office, retail and a shared work/conference meeting space. The building will be designed for 60% office and 40% laboratory.

Nice!

Looks Awesome! University City is really killing it with density and infills on nearly every block. I hope this pushes development of lots on Market between 19th and Schuylkill (especially the big lot between TJ and the PECO building) to create one continuous city sprawl. Its a perfect spot for a nice tower

I'm digging how it meets the street there. U City needs some street life with glass and bright lighting I hope it brings that

And I vaguely remember some discussion on this but Dow is officially moving out of CC now:

Dow Chemical to exit Center City, move 350 staffers to Collegeville

More complaining about CC designs and developers. No mention of W hotel, 500 Walnut, One riverside, SLS condos, etc. At least we know she's a fan of liberty prop trust though.

[McBane]

But a lot of what is being built in Center City IS ho-hum!

But yes, she did fail to mention some of the better designed buildings going up. All the ones you mentioned (except One Riverside - just okay) + FMC, 1500 Walnut (too magnificent of a design to be only 3 stories!), and that new, colorful CHOP building.

My guess is that she puts a higher bar on the core neighborhoods than she does on what is essentially a glorified office park.

4 story addition to a six story historic building. Not bad.

It looks like the wonderful Hale Building is finally going to be renovated into offices and retail. Great news!

You might remember the Masonic theater right next to it on the north which is now a multistory parking garage. It had a one ton glass curtain and I think it was more or less Art Deco. If it had lasted 15 more years it probably would have been saved. When I was a Math major at Drexel(1971) my friend had gone to St Joe's prep and they had their annual alumni concert there and he took me to it. Unlike today it was a period of decline and shrinkage for CC. It is great to see what was once a bleak wind swept derelict stretch of North Broad St return from the dead.

Update pics of One Water Street - since I know some forget about it (including me) since its not in the Philly main forum -

Lots of new homes, condos near 205 Race and Front Street - apologies I don't have addresses of all of these. Seems like every street has new construction going on here, and Fishtown, and Grad Hosp area.

Thanks for all the great pix! I noticed the same thing driving around just south of South Street a couple of weeks ago: it seemed like there was new residential construction underway on virtually every block.

Great update TallCoolOne as always!
