He meant to say 80 construction projects in total... which is still off. I would say there are 200+ construction projects in total throughout Philadelphia. There are only like a dozen highrises being built and a dozen in the planning stages.

80 buildings even in the 6+ story range is a lot of construction. Would you say Philadelphia proper has more construction going on than Washington D.C. proper? D.C. proper doesn't have 80 buildings in the 6+ story range under construction I can tell you. That is astounding. D.C. proper currently has 54 cranes in the sky on last count. Philly must have over 120 cranes in the sky. I need to take a trip up there soon.

I'd assume Philadelphia by default.

I can't really comment on this, but Philadelphia is about 70 square miles bigger than DC.

No. DC has more. I didn't mean 80 projects 6 stories or more. 6 or more there are probably about 50-60. In the planning stages there are more.

Here is all buildings taller than 8 under construction/ about to begin: there is 34 projects. Over 6 floors i can think of AT LEAST 10 more, but they are hard to keep track of because they are all over the city. If you count all of the buildings that are 2,3,4 and 5 stories high like rowhomes and such throughout the city, there are EASILY 200+ buildings under construction currently in Philadelphia. Alot of South Philadelphia and Most of Lower North Philadelphia is a construction zone.


Everything taller than 8 floors I can list:

W Hotel: 58 floors, over 600 feet- construction starting in spring
Cira Center South Office Tower: over 450 feet- approved
Renaissance Plaza (residential): 4 towers- two 426 feet, two 227 feet- proposed
2116 Chestnut (residential): 34 floors, ~390 feet- under construction
19th and Arch Office Building: 22 floors, 370 feet- proposed
Morgan Hall (residential): 27 floors, 312 feet- under construction
3601 Market (residential): 27 floors- construction starting in spring
1213 Walnut (residential): 26 floors- approved
CHOP Ambulatory Care Center (medical): 14 floors- 292 feet- construction
38th and Chestnut (residential): 25 floors, 278 feet- approved
1919 Market (residential): 25 floors, 266 feet- construction starting in spring
Chinatown Eastern Tower (mixed use): 24 floors- 265 feet- approved
Family Court Building (offices/ courts): 15 floors- 265 feet- construction
Penn Medicine at Washington Square (office): 19 floors- 260 feet- construction
Temple University Science, Education and Research Center: 8 floors- 241 feet- construction
Wanamaker Plaza- North Tower (residential): 14 floors- 214 feet
Chestnut Square (residential): 19 floors- construction
205 Race (residential): 16 floors- approved
735 S. Columbus (residential): 15 floors- approved
Drexel University LeBow College of Business: 14 floors- construction
1900 Arch (residential): 14 floors- construction
Broad and Spring Garden (residential): 14 floors- construction
2040 Market (residential) 13 floors- construction
401 Race Hotel: 13 floors- approved
2021 Chestnut(residential): 12 floors- spring construction
Marina View (residential): 11 floors- spring construction
Goldtex (residential): 11 floors- construction
3737 Market (office): 11 floors- construction
The Granary (residential): 9 floors- construction
Southstar Lofts (residential): 8 floors- construction
The Sansom (residential): 8 floors- construction
Hilton Home2Suites (hotel): 8 floors- construction
Waterview Grande (residential): two 8 floor buildings- construction
Hub 3939 (residential): 8 floors- construction

Of course, that's not including any of the rumors or plans not far along, like Museum Towers Phase 2, new rumors on Trump Tower, all Drexel, CHOP, Temple and UPenn has planned, 1601 Vine, several other new large developments, or anything shorter than 8 floors or any of the at least 200+ rowhomes under construction

Glad to see Philadelphia booming again. How much of this is in Center City and how much is in other parts of the city? So south Philly has alot of construction going on? When you say rowhomes are under construction, are you talking about new construction or rehabs? How many cranes would you say are in the sky for all those projects?
