The tallest building east of Broad is in.......Camden?
I saw lots of guesses as to the height. Where did these figures come from? Some of the guesses were taller - and who doesn't want taller - but these are very respectable heights for Philadelphia. And obviously huge for Camden. |
This gives me goosebumps. A couple years ago after a Riversharks game I sketched a quick pie-in-the-sky best case scenario of how I though these parking lots would be best developed. This is almost exactly what I sketched out. Switch the heights on the towers and integrate the bridge-ward tower into its low-rise podium and it would be scarily accurate.
I should go look for that sketch. Anyway, needless to say I'm super excited for this development. Any riverside development of this magnitude will draw in more river-centric development and a strong riverfront is a key part of Philly's future. |
Wow didn't see this happening anytime soon, let's hope this comes to be. The skyscraper on the pier is pretty unique.

Must be an error. Camden.... Not Newark??? :(
Towers will not revitalize Camden, Naloxone will. One day Newark, one day... :fingerscrossed: But in the spirit of being in NJ, its good news regardless. Robert A. M. Stern is great news. Fantastic architect, and his work is iconic. |

I guess the perspective is skewing me. Also no other tall buildings to reference.
|
There are currently fantastic views of the Philadelphia skyline from the Camden Rivershark's Stadium (Campbell's Field). That will not completely be the case anymore with the new tall building being built there. This news is really great and the build out to only take the next four to five years, amazing! I am still digesting if this is a good plan for public access to the river front, but initially it looks to be.

The 116,100-square-foot project would be part of a $1 billion mixed-use complex overseen by Liberty Property Trust of Malvern, Pennsylvania. That project also calls for 1.5 million square feet of office space, retail outlets and 211 homes. http://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/4c2a...SizeRender.jpg American Water Headquarters will front the River: http://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/d9a9...tern-final.jpg At Camden's Subaru site, plans for a city within a city http://www.philly.com/philly/news/ne...in_a_city.html http://media.philly.com/images/01081...DEN08_1200.jpg |

Tremendous news.
|
I kind of wish they would focus on relocating bushiness to the gateway district in the City's core, and add the hotel and housing on the waterfront. Based on the parking garages in the renderings, it doesn't look like they count on many employees using Patco or the Riverline. I know how packed those streets are during concerts or Rivershark games. The gateway district at least has highway access, and could have Patco access if they add a station.
For what its worth I'm related to an NFI executive. He sounded pretty optimistic. I'll try to get him to handycap if and when they will commit to moving to this new location. |
Camden NJ | Waterfront | X FT | 40+ FLOORS
Liberty Property Trust will lead development of “The Camden Waterfront,” a new approximately $1 billion development that will redefine the Camden Waterfront by creating as much as 1.7 million square feet of office space and include a hotel, retail and a residential component.

hey_suburbia, there was already a thread created on this. I merged your thread with the one already created and reduced the images to links since they were over-sized.
|
Do you think it would be OK to put the two proposed LPT Camden towers in the Philadelphia Diagrams section, assuming someone is willing and capable to make a diagram of them?

Hope to see progress on this - and less parking

Quote:
Unfortunately, excessive amounts of parking will almost certainly be a prerequisite for construction in Camden for some time yet. Heck, many of those Jersey City condo/apartment towers have truly absurd amounts of parking. The best we can hope for are solutions like this site's, where the parking is surrounded by low-rises, rather than the Subaru building's, which is just a straight-up suburban-style office park on the Campbell's site. |
What do you guys think are odds that this could happen similar to the renderings? We've seen other large scale projects proposed for the waterfront in Camden. What makes this one different from others that never came into fruition?
|
The State of NJ essentially guaranteeing that LPT will recover their investment in 10 years. They would be fools not to build it.

http://dealsdefiningtheskyline.com/l...redevelopment/ Wow! Break ground in Q3 2016? That would be amazing! |
|
Oh wow, the birth of Jersey City for Philadelphia!!
This is HUGE. :ohyeah Make no mistake, in about 35 years from now, Philadelphia will have that NY vibe with skyscrapers on BOTH sides of both rivers. Next announcement will have skyscrapers at Penn's Landing. :wizard: Congrats Philadelphia! You have arrived. :cheers: |
They have been doing test bores at this site for the last week or so. I just haven't had a chance to grab pictures.

Camden needs this project to break ground ASAP!!! I can see similar projects from Cooper Point to maybe nearby the Susquehanna Bank Center. The city of Camden needs to utilize it's land for industrial use, as well, preferably south of Kaighn Ave and also utilize whatever vacant land closest to the waterfront as possible, while turning the actual waterfront into Camden's high-rise residential district from Cooper's Point to Kaighn's Point with anemities like restaurants, bars, gyms, and even a supermarket to support the community!!!
A light rail/trolley system similar to the subway-surface along Front St and MLK Blvd via an underground tunnel to a new transportation facility hub consisting of bus, heavy rail PATCO (which should be expanded to Woodbury, Maple Shade, Cherry Hill, and Deptford), and even commuter rail to outlying South Jersey communities in the Jersey Shore, Cape May, and Cumberland County. The light rail would also be extended into the Gateway area!!! I hope to see all this for Camden!!! |
Liberty Property sees lots of interest in Navy Yard, Camden projects
Quote:

:goodpost: Yes, the navy yard would be ideal for development of supertall skyscrapers!
If you overlay two maps (Manhattan and Philadelphia) together, you will see that the navy yard represents downtown Manhattan, while Center City represents Midtown. Yes, it is possible to have soaring skyscrapers stretching from the navy yard to Center City. If it did happen, you would see Philadelphia actually become Manhattan. So yes, this is a possibility. :star: :star: :star: :star: :star: |

Well, you could relocate the sports stadiums to Penn's Landing and have soaring supertall skyscrapers around Pattison Ave, no? :shrug: By the time South Philly is all built up, Camden's waterfront will be lined with towers galore! :tup: |
590' and 450'...yes please....

The test boring going on in Mikieman's photo is where the 590 footer is going. |

They were doing test bores this morning on the southern most parking lot next to the old Susquehanna Bank building.

I think the riverline runs close so maybe no need for a second stop in NJ with Patco |
I remember I passed Camden with the Greyhound bus to Philadelphia in 1998. It really felt like a sleepy town, so these new towers will probably do good for the city.
