I would assume that that means that the tower has already paid for itself? Impressive considering it isn't even finished yet.

^ I wonder if they will get $25M for the penthouse.

What was the date of that post, I couldn't find it.
But wow, that is certainly telling of the luxury market in Philadelphia.

It's on their IG timeline:

And here's the one that says - "including one full-floor penthouse" sold -- so I'm assuming that's the 48th floor.

You can look up all listings on Realtor.com. It syncs in real time to the MLS.

Looks like it might've been the 44th floor. Unit # 4401 just sold for $8,275,995. The 48th floor unit is still available.

Saturday, 20th and Sansom. Finally getting a feel for what this intersection will feel like.

Looking forward to the day I can walk the 1900 block of Sansom and see a fully-intact streetscape, with a special emphasis on the two buildings that were saved - they are my favorite part of the Sansom Street side of this project.

I would like to make Sansom a car free street.

Hahaha, do you think you live in a European city with leadership that cares about the pedestrian experience? In Philly, I am happy with the scraps, such as the loss of a surface lot. I've been conditioned not to expect great things.

I don't think it can ever be totally car free because of loading docks / dumpsters but there's no reason that it can't have movable bollards like Bourbon Street or 6th Street and be car free Fridays-Sundays. The natural starting point would be Sansom between 15th and 18th which has the highest concentration of businesses.

From Saturday, the first time I've been back in Philly in a while. Anyways this building looks great in my opinion. These are from El Techo, a great place to grab brunch, I imagine its a great place to eat when the weather is nice too!

Jawnadelphia · #**3079** Posted **Mar 29, 2022, 12:02 PM**

^Great angle/photos. I wasn't paying attention at first and thought I was looking at a different city - Chicago or London vibes. I need to get back to El Techo. The Laurel looks sleek and thin from that side view.

PHLtoNYC · #**3080** Posted **Mar 29, 2022, 1:55 PM**

I like The Laurel overall, but this angle is by far the best (IMO).
