PHILADELPHIA | Jessup House @ 12+Sansom | 265 FT | 20 FLOORS
Looooove that masonry is making a comeback as of late:

Dang she thicc

Center City south of Market has always been very dense, especially by US standards. Now that these lots and garages are getting filling and with these larger structures, it’s getting pretty insane (in a good way).

pretty cool; with the hotel planned next door at 11th and sansom and the 2nd phase of east market, that area's going to look a lot different.

Thanks for the thread! Great project - build it!
Even cooler to think another highrise will be rising directly behind this as well. Blue Ivy Hotel, right? |

Sansom will be very shady

From what I can recall from renderings, this should complement the Chestnut side of the East Market development quite nicely.

Turn this building into market-rate rentals and the area becomes a basic-bitch reality warp like 15th & Locust. Having the use of this building be for seniors might shock the neighborhood for the better. These people have money and value culture. Could lead to an identity for the surrounding blocks, which it is currently lacking. :fingerscrossed: Just don’t call it ‘Midtown Villag..:derpina: :fingerscrossed:

The base is great - masonry.
The rest of it is a sort of hodgepodge of everything being built today -- thrown into one, wide tower. Cement fiber, metal panels, some tinted glass, etc... it's basically two building in one of far as the exterior. It's certainly not going to win any design awards, but beats a parking garage for sure. The building also has 3 floors dedicated to assisted living units btw - it's a wealthy Senior Center on Sansom--I'm trying to grasp this aspect of it. Does a well off 70 year old, in good health, who wants to enjoy the city lifestyle and has money to burn, also want to share amenity space with perhaps, 90-95 years olds, perhaps not so much with it anymore mentally, nurses, wheel chairs, etc? |

I'm actually surprised we're not seeing MORE of these in the city - seems to be a no-brainer development to me. These are generally well-heeled folks who can afford an amenity laden condo and why not get one in the city with easy airport access for travel, cultural amenities at your doorstep, and hospital access for the inevitable emergency. |

I think the building looks awesome and will be a huge improvement. Not to mention, the type of development this represents could be a whole new "leg up" for development in the city. I bet we will all be talking about how much better this looks than the renderings when it's done. |
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think we all agree it’s a step up from one of the ugliest, squattest garages around.
