Name one thing that gets a development nerd (ourselves
wholeheartedly included in that category) more excited than a towering crane
being installed at a construction site in the city? While renderings may be a
close second, the short answer is probably nothing. It means progress and that
something soon will rise from that whole in the ground.
Enter 1919 Market, the looooong vacant lot that will see
321 luxury apartments, a ground floor CVS and, let’s not forget, a golf
simulator grace the street at the center of the current development boom we’re
seeing from the Delaware River all the way into West Philly.
Here's what we know and also more crane shots with
renderings!
The 29-story project is a joint venture between
Brandywine Realty Trust, Berwyn-based real estate company LCOR and the
California State Teacher’s Retirement System. The building has been designed by
Barton Partners and is slated to be completed by spring 2016.
Here's the rundown:
- 321 apartments
- 24,000 square feet of office space, primarily for Blue
Cross
- ground-floor CVS
- full concierge service
- rooftop fitness center
- roof garden
- rooftop ledge pool
- game room with golf simulator
