Drexel Master Plan- to be phased out from now for the rest of the years until we die without at least 2 towers and three other projects every two years
There is also a Franklin Square redevelopment plan with skyscrapers, a Lower South (Entertainment District around the ball parks, redevelopment of entire Navy Yard, and redevelopment of Entire lower south industrial yards) and West Park (redevelopment of entire West Park area near the zoo) Comprehensive District plan.
Other Comprehensive plans will be released within a few months to mention I'm sure other plans for plenty of more projects.
There are also I'm sure dozens upon dozens of projects that I am forgetting about.
That isn't even 10% of what is being built in D.C.
I didn't even include university expansion's taking place either:
Howard University, American University, Georgetown University, American University, and Catholic University are all building extremly dense campuses as well.
This is Howard's Campus plan that is supposed to break ground in the next 3 quarters:
I will see if I can find the other school projects.
I wasn't done yet... plus I can't remember every single project going on currently. I'm sure there is a TON I am missing because there is too much going on. Not just in Philly either... in every city. Like I said, there are also plenty of rowhome development and smaller developments going on as well.
Mandeville place design looks like something you would find in Manhattan, the trides resemble he scrapers built in Miami, and the trump tower on the riverbank looks very nice IMO
Thanks. And I agree, Waterfront Square is Very Miami-esk. Here are the three that are already complete.
The U.S. economy is rebounding so most projects stalled by the recession are finding their way back. The places that boomed through the recession like DC, Houston, and Dallas are still teeming with construction now and incredible infill. Places that held off the recession fairly like Philly or Seattle are seeing surges in their own right. NY is always teeming with construction. Now we are beginning to see Miami, Atlanta, SF, Chicago, and company make their comeback

That still isn't even 10% of what is going on D.C. I didn't even list parks, office buildings, or hotels like you tried to do LOL.... You need to give it up. I listed over 200 different residential projects without even including office projects, hotels, or parks etc. etc. I will say that again, I listed over 200 residential buildings moving forward. You need to give it up. On a side note, I don't think any city is building as many rowhouse developments as D.C. EYA is booming in D.C. proper. Our region is also the king of New Urbanism which spread across our suburbs more than any region in the nation. I would wager Tyson's Corner alone will have more projects under construction next year than Philadelphia which I have not even included in all this!
P.S......So, how many of those Philly projects are under construction? D.C.'s are actually getting built.

Really I thought they were very similar, if anything Cambridge was more distint from Boston than Ucity is from Center City, because the Town grew independent of Boston til 1810 when the first Charles River crossing came to be, and Cental, Harvard, Poeter, and KendellbSq feel quit city-like.
It could be the lack of a hierarctical grid system causes the activity to be more spread evenly than U City making U city appear move Vibrant because it was concentrated.
Cambridge is a larger version of U City
Some aspects of U City feel a tad more urban though Kendall Sq is filling in these days.
Absolutely love Harvard Sq and the Harvard campus but is further afield and a little less urban than Penn but a little more dramatic IMHO
But would agree to your earlier point that Cambidge and U City are more comparable than would be Arlington to either

I see you won't give up. Omg you're so right. Construction workers and developers are flocking to DC. It is clearly the place to be 50% are under construction 50% proposed or in the final planning stages.
And if I included all residential rowhomes and projects Philadelphia would be at least 500, for just row homes. And if we took all of those skyscrapers and split them into 12 story buildings we would quadruple the amount of construction in DC.
But you're right. There is so much construction in DC that you can't even walk... it is just one big construction zone

LOL couple things...
-Are you really listing parking garages?
-You don't want to compete in Office Building construction believe me!
-Why are you listing Science Buildings etc?
-I have already seen the plan for the Delaware redevelopment on the waterfront. What I have not seen is a timeline for construction. Do you happen to have that? They don't have funding last time I checked.
I'm talking about 200+ residential unit buildings. D.C. leads period. You need to refer to this site right here before you embarrass yourself posting the few unfunded and mostly stalled development proposals in Philadelphia. The stuff on this site is actually being built or about to break ground and all of it is near metro lines.
Over 200 different buildings either just finishing up, under construction, or breaking ground in the next 4 quarters around our Metro system: (If this is not impressive, I don't know what is. Talk about increased Metro ridership!) Pipeline: New condos and apartments coming to DC metro area
And that stuff is just happening around our Metro system. I'm not even going to begin on development near our Marc and VRE Commuter Rail System.
All well and good but you do realize U City has an already vastly more dense residential aspect (even after all this constrcution is completed) as well as an already existing subway (both have) and light rail lines lines right?
You post stuff that is trying to catch up not surpassing in the urban aspects
