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

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. |
