Office tower planned at long-empty lot near Philadelphia City Hall


Another parking lots bites the dust. Wonder who the tenants will be


Also, I was in Philadelphia over the weekend, I noticed the parking garage on Market St across from the Trader Joes is being demolished, is Brandywine moving forward with the tower they planned on the parcel?

Building on that parking lot at 13th and Market is long overdue...

Absolutely! I always forget about it and it surprises me when I'm on the north side of Market.

The tower has some character too. One thing I do like is when modern abuts older style architecture (when well done). One of the really cool things about Philly IMO.

Note: The architect is SOM. A relief that someone other than Bart and other local cronies is designing a tower in Philly. And SOM is much much better than the others. Hopefully, the podium and quality materials will stay unchanged.

FINALLY!!!!

That parking lot at 13th St has been there so long I've forgotten what used to be there years ago.

Garage across from Trader Joe's ? Didn't know Brandywine was involved in that stretch or Market St. Let's hope it does not stay empty for long.

Big Project Forthcoming at 3400 Market? | Naked Philly


Another prominent parking lot at 34th and Market is disappearing too! And I'm sure between Drexel, Penn, and all of the research centers in that area, this one will get recognized.

Seems like the city is on fire. You're going to want to come back.

Was in UCity last night for a movie. The FMC tower was sporting its fancy blue lights when looking east. It's a fantastic addition to the cityscape.

Good. The only one left is the one at 38th and Market.

FMC is essentially Cira Center South. There were supposed to be at least three towers that were going to mimic the original Cira
Center's geometry. Cira got build and the rest were, seemingly, stalled until the economic climate improved enough to complete the vision. So now there is Cira, Evo, FMC and, possibly, another tower next to Cira.

I believe Brandywine's plan is to turn this into a temporary parking lot before committing to the tower. Skyscraperpage has a discussion about it here: PHILADELPHIA | 2100 Market | 500 FT | 39 FLOORS - Page 5 - SkyscraperPage Forum

I hope they get started soon. That stretch will look embarrassing with 2 whole blocks of parking lots.
