Scannapieco Development’s latest uber-luxury tower is
about begin construction in earnest.
Tom
Scannapieco’s next big project is about to take off in earnest at 5th and
Walnut as the official groundbreaking date has been set for Thursday, March 12
at 11:30 a.m. You could argue that with $75 million in pre-construction
reservations Scannapieco and crew already have in tow, the project has been
“official” for quite some time. In case you’re wondering, that’s over half of
the 37 units in the building.
The
press release for the event tells us the Mayor Michael Nutter will be in
attendance to welcome the commencement of construction for the building being
touted as Philly’s “most innovative condo tower to date.” In fact, the
groundbreaking is being billed as “innovative” as the project itself, featuring
never-before-seen renderings, videos and “other exciting glimpses” into the
glass needle that will overlook the most historic square mile in America. It
won’t be held on site, either. The event will take place at National Museum of
American Jewish History at 5th and Market Streets.
Here’s
a refresher on the project, which is expected to open in spring 2017:
- 26-story “glass needle” designed by Cecil Baker
- Residences range from 2,600-square-feet to 8,500-square-feet
- Fully customizable two-story penthouse priced at $17.6 million (multiple balconies, elevator, roof terrace and more)
- Underground robotic car parking system, 84 spaces with retrieval in under 90 seconds.
- Sky-lit 50 foot lap pool with hot tub
- Private boardroom, entertainment suite, library/billiard room, fitness center
- 4,000-square-foot landscaped outdoor terrace overlooking Independence Park
- Lobby level garden with water feature
