Some positives and negatives, but Vanguard is booming right now.
This is a good problem to have.

I saw the East Market building numero uno started installing the cladding on the retail level today.
It is rather bland and uninteresting. I am really hoping the addition of glasses and LED displays will make it attractive.

I think I may have said to one of the architects at BLTa that the first tower looks to me more like an office building than a residence.

The second tower will be an echo of the PSFS Building across 12th Street.

I'm not a fan at all of the cladding on this building. Big miss for me. Of course, anything is better than the previous structure but this looks like a dated suburban office building to me.

Does it appear to anyone else that there are misaligned seams all over this building? Like some of the cladding needs to be redone.

Will Rittenhouse Lose Another Parking Garage? | Naked Philly


Two potential development opportunities that will probably end up as more rowhomes.


Is it me asking to much to think that a multi-family midrise structure would compliment this neighborhood nicely? I posted a rendering below of 180 E 93rd St NY, NY... I am picturing something along the lines of that to replace at least one of the garages. It is a pipe dream, but why would that be so terrible for Philadelphia to replace parking garages with these rather than rowhomes?

Oh, I'm with you, but there's no doubt that this will be garage-fronted rowhomes. The developer that owns this lot will be looking at all those existing curb cuts and salivating at how much they can charge by creating another dead street of garage doors...in one of the best downtowns in the country...

I actually passed by Market Street East again today. More claddings were installed. (I even saw how they did it! Pretty cool!)
I would love to retract my statement. It looks much better now once it takes shape.
I am excited!

Yeah... the only place I see "Midtown Village" is on banners along 13th St.

To answer the question, I have no problem with trying to rebrand the rail park area since it lacks any real identity. Although I kinda like calling it "Eraserhead". I think the rail park may cause the same kind of reaction the High Line has in NYC. We'll see, obviously. Depending, the possibility of getting control of other parts of the viaduct for development will only help. I'm really looking forward to it.
