^^ I agree it should and could have(to my knowledge) been a 40 story tower, add apartments and a hotel over it honestly, it looks like people still want there center city residences and hotels, but honestly i dont mind the design, the brick work was a nic touch and i think the dark blue glass would contrast the brick well

I like this proposal.

I think it's nice to get some legit commercial this far into the neighborhood but at the same time I think it appropriately steps down from the CBD. It's a nice transition.

I also like the design.

I hope it's truly an out of state tenant. It would be nice to poach from another state for once.

Update per PWO’s post: the old gas station is being relocated up the street, so hopefully that bodes well for getting things moving on this. This would definitely put some additional pep in Logan Square’s step

This isn’t something I thought would crawl back from the dead. Happy to be wrong.

Has the 'historic' gas station been moved yet? I haven't taken notice of it in a while.

I wonder if Chubb is still a potential tenant if this moves forward.

Historic Gas Station Will Move for Logan Square Office Tower

Quote:
On 20th Street, there’s a small building on the west side of the street between Cuthbert and Arch, standing sentry beside a surface lot at 2000-24 Arch St.


Quote:
While originally slated for demolition back in the ’80s, the building has stood lonely and unused as the rest of the lot was used for car rentals and surface parking. A major change is now slated for this lot, but it won’t involve the little gas station building. Before the upcoming redevelopment, the building will be moved in its entirety and restored, with a final destination just a block or so to the north at Aviator Park along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.


Quote:
In news that’s even more exciting than a repositioned gas station, the surface lot at 20th & Arch will soon change quite a bit. Zoning documents show that the two parcels on the lot have now been combined – a clear sign that things are afoot. But what is coming you ask? According to a Philadelphia Business Journal story from 2019, international insurance company Chubb was looking to develop this site with Brandwine Property Trust and the Parkway Corporation for their corporate offices. Per minutes from a Logan Square Neighborhood Association meeting from last year, Covid-19 delayed plans (unsurprisingly), but things are definitely moving forward. In fact, while original plans called for 15 floors spread over 260 feet in height, new plans add three more floors to a total of 18, though the height and footprint will remain the same. Additionally, two levels of underground parking are planned for the project.

This should be A LOT taller given it’s location. This city deserves taller skyscrapers for the size of boom we pack as a city.

In this case, it's in a height overlay and iirc had to jump through a lot of hoops just to get to this tall so it is what it is

I love this city. I bleed Philly, it’s generational and molded me who I am but holy **** I hate the city’s government and zoning bs. We should be in the runnings more with NYC/Chicago. Not having shitties like Seattle and Austin and San Francisco crushing us with the taller buildings in the core skyline. Granted phillys is my favorite and brings me calm tranquility when I see the buildings but we deserve better. The city does.

What a coincidence Naked Philly shared an update today.

But glad to see this moving forward, and cool the little gas station will be restored/moved.

Street level feel is way more important than tall towers. Still plenty of parking lots to fill.

Fair. But given it’s proximity to to taller towers I would’ve expected it to be stand out a little bit more from a distance. One cathedral square looks better then I thought it would so who knows. Also YES, there are many more parking lots that can be built on.

I’m usually pretty positive about buildings on here but this one looks pretty boring. Guess it’s good for the neighborhood.

I can 100% confirm that this project is moving forward. Expect shovels by end of year.
