PHILADELPHIA | 900 N. 8th Street | 154 FT | 12 FLOORS
Walking the line between lowrise and highrise, but it is tall enough to garner its own thread.

Wow! that looks awesome and came out of nowhere!
|
Incredible proposal! I only count 11 floors on each though. Am I missing something?

Yeah, this looks awesome. This is the scale that the Delaware waterfront should be seeing instead of three story townhomes.
|
It's a nice looking building and I hope this thing comes to fruition.

This is one of the best designed residential proposals I've seen in Philly in a long stretch. Especially for something that's not extremely high end. Kudos to Hightop and David Landskroner!

Those Richard Allen homes make me angrier with every passing year. That area needs to be rebuilt so badly. Really all of Poplar and West Poplar is pretty out of sorts.
|
Septa could easily make a regional rail station here if this comes to fruition. The tracks come above ground at Fairmount so an above ground station at Poplar or Girard would be great. Girard would probably make more sense because the trolley runs there.

maybe a regional rail stop at Girard would make sense...

Girard Ave needs some good quality infill right now. It's not tall enough, but that building is needed for that corridor, considering the much needed density and the quality of the building, along with the Quaker Building, would allow that development to become a reality. I can only hope it gets built ASAP.

Now that the city is growing, hopefully the city can enhance it's mass transit system and the regional rail system can follow suit with restored service to West Chester, Reading, Lancaster, Allentown, and Easton. |
There used to be a Reading Railroad stop at Ninth and Girard way back when. Back in the day, there were a lot more stations within the city limits on what is now the regional rail. As far as resurrecting any Ninth and Girard is one of the prime candidates.
