Agreed - the ripple effect of this development will be massive. In 3-5 years, we'll start to see how transformative this development has been.

Completely agree. This project is going to have (and is already having) a huge transformative effect on the entire area. Hopefully it also helps the Fashion District and the smaller retail operations on Market East, but I guess we'll see.

Chestnut and Walnut from Broad to 11th (right where it turns into Jefferson-land) have gotten so much nicer in the past few years. There has been a little backsliding over the past year or so, but I'm still optimistic about the area. It looks like there are demos and improvements being done to some of the buildings on 11th directly adjacent to the East Market development.

Market Street itself though is still a little rough, and Jefferson is really a huge blocker to any additional development past 11th. The parking lot in the middle of their campus is atrocious.

Speaking of. Anyone know the story on the Walnut St Theatre expansion? I think it was supposed to break ground around the time Covid hit.

Permits Issued For Parking Garage At East Market Phase 3 In Market East

Quote:

Permits have been issued for the parking garage at 1101-53 Chestnut Street, part of the East Market Phase 3 development in Market East, Center City. The garage will be situated underground beneath the two future towers with three levels of underground parking and 300 parking spaces, which will be shared between the two superstructures. t will include 37 compact parking spots with 15 spaces for preferential parking, as well as 15 electric vehicle spaces with chargers and eight ADA spaces, where two will be van-accessible. The garage will total 156,456 square feet and cost an estimated $42,357,933 to construct.

As can be seen in YIMBY’s recent extended look at the development, construction is well underway for the two towers. Most recently, foundation work has been progressing and a second tower crane was constructed at the development site.

There is uncertainty around the timing of the western residential tower and the eastern medical tower. Clearly, foundation work is taking place throughout the entirety of the site and not just the eastern portion where the Jefferson Tower will stand. With permits in hand, work may begin on the underground garage. Work on the Jefferson Tower should immediately follow. The unknown is the timing of the western residential tower.

You can see the tower cranes in this shot. These will add some nice, much needed density to this skyline here.

Here is something that I don't understand, but I'm hoping someone on this forum might. There's a new permit for the medical tower - but it is for 19 floors? That seems low and inconsistent with everything we have seen up to this point. I just can't believe this would be downsized, so this makes no sense.

This lines up with previous plans - there is just a lot of height above the official 19th floor

Thanks El Duderino! I think (and hope) you are right. It is always surprising how much the feet per floor can vary between your basic apartment tower at one extreme and a complex medical building at the other. My concern was that a higher floor count had been used, including the heading for this discussion thread. And it isn't always easy to count floors from renderings, depending on the style of the building.

Permits Issued For The Thomas Jefferson Specialty Care Pavilion

Quote:

Permits have been issued for the construction of the Thomas Jefferson Specialty Care Pavilion at 1101-53 Chestnut Street in Market East, Center City. Developed by National Real Estate Development, the structure will rise 364 feet and 23 stories tall, becoming the tallest addition to the neighborhood in more than three decades. The interior will hold 750,000 square feet of space, most of which will be allocated for medical use by Jefferson Health.

The latest permit applies only to the construction of the building core and shell, with separate permits necessary for the rest of the work. The permit tags the cost of the work at $115,664,758. LF Driscoll Company LLC is the listed contractor. A separate permit was recently filed for the three-story underground garage that will be situated under the tower and Chestnut West, its residential counterpart that will rise 288 feet and 24 stories tall and will hold 396 apartments. Designed by Morris Adjmi Architects, the residential tower’s warm red exterior will provide a pleasant contrast to the cool white curtain wall of the medical center.

Yep.... apartment building indefinitely on hold. We'll remove it from this thread and create a new thread for it when the project advances since for now, it seems to be mothballed.

An Overview Of The Latest Plan For East Market Phase 3

Quote:

The most noticeable change is the exterior design. The latest iteration shelves the prior arrangement of two-story-tall, staggered panels of alternating etched and fritted glass, angled in a gentle sawtooth pattern. In its place, the design introduces a curtain wall of undulating glass. The shorter western section appears largely similar to the previous variant.

The building’s latest iteration, designed by Ennead Architects, maintains the earlier design approach that combines a conservative, institutional look with a soft, light-colored, airy appearance.

In the meantime, the site of the western tower, known as Chestnut West in Civic Design Review documents, has been transferred into direct ownership of Jefferson Health. As such, the medical services provider, rather than National Real Estate Development, is now in charge of decisions related to the site in the future.

As of now, foundations for the future high-rise, which are part of the three-level underground garage spanning both towers, are still being constructed. However, the red terra cotta-clad, square-themed residential tower designed by Morris Adjmi Architects is now on hold, and it is uncertain whether the design will be retained for any future development.

In its place, Jefferson Health will introduce a roughly 15,000-square-foot public plaza, which will feature plantings and outdoor furniture. Jefferson Health intends to activate the space with events.
