Wrong thread, Summers.

LOL thanks!

Im Honestly torn on this building, the height and number of units is great! But the design is weird, and from the north or south fat and kinda ugly, Id Honestlyprefer if they cut the lot in half and made a 400ft condo tower instead of this. But Maybe it will grow on me.

Yeah. A tower would have been better there. I really don't see how they'll have windows on the sides so close to the lot line but I guess it's bigger than it appears.

The code used to, maybe still does, call for a "side court clearance", and I think the distance was/is around 54". So, if something was built on the next plot of land and they wanted windows in that building as well, the distance between the two buildings would be 9' to 10'.

If you love stucco, you'll love this building. The whole thing looks like somebody doesn't want to spend $1 more then they have to. I can't believe that this thing has a name.

Does anyone know if Penn owns this property? They used to own, and maybe still do, the building to the south.

Imagine how much time and thought went into "The Standard." ;)

Probably the standard amount. :whistle:

From the highrise thread:

I still don't know about this one. The site is tough to develop something that isn't overly wide from the North and South.

Material selection will be important.

Ayo this shit is ugly af. What's the point of a CDR if this is allowed to be built

I'll get a petition signed to make it prettier to your specifications...:tup:

Unfortunately, demolition has begun. Replacing an ugly eyesore with a bigger, slightly less ugly eyesore:

Hoping this is less bad than it sounds!

The balls the on the developer to name this "The Standard" (definition: something established by authority, custom, or general consent as a model or example). But then again if you are the negative type you would say that this is indeed the standard for new construction here in Phila.
