Exciting project. Is the larger tower really ~32 floors (I count ~35 or 36)?
|
not terrible, but I have to think that one tall tower could have been better than two shorter ones here.

Whewee is it hot in here or what.... BUILD IT NOW!

I didn't think I'd care, but I'm glad they're planning to keep that medical center building. It has this retro vibe that works with the new build.

I like this. 375 ft is great height for this end of Broad. Even 300 ft is decent height here and that's the height of the shorter building. Two towers will extend the skyline and create a nice little canyon effect down Broad (surprised they didn't show that angle in the renders). As for that ridiculous "historic" building, not sure how that will turn out; looks okay in the renderings but I'm uncertain how will it actually end up and integrated with the new construction. |
I also count 35 to 36 floors instead of 32

Interestingly, a day after OCF Realty revealed the news, the Badger Group has altered the information regarding this property, as well as its Penn Landing redevelopment, substantially including renders.

One of the general complaints with the Post Bros./Blatstein project a block away is that it doesn't have any height. I think if this project ever gets off of paper and is built, it would certainly be a plus for the area----I hope there's no above ground parking for either building----and if for some reason the south tower, the residential tower, grew by 10 or more stories, that would be fine with me, even if the skyline was in danger somehow. The existing health center building looks lost in this concept, like the poor 2nd cousin at a wedding, but unless one could build on top of it, whatever might get built here is going to be a design challenge. I'd say this project is highly speculative. Hell, Goldenburg doesn't build anything, never mind something creative! |

This is a fantastic project and I love what I am seeing! I would love to see sidewalk level perspectives but it seems like its nice and glassy at street level
|
The larger tower really reminds me of River Walk for some reason.
|
I'm just sitting here thinking; the taller tower at present is planned for 375; so to give it some perspective the Jefferson Center/former Aramark Tower is 417 or about that; so this give some idea of the positive affects this tower can have on the skyline overall; it will be about 30 feet shorter.
Due to the location of the tower this tower can have a real positive affect on the skyline. |
Is this just a proposal or is this project gonna actually rise?
