Construction Progresses at Piazza Terminal in Northern Liberties, North Philadelphia

Construction work continues to progress on the massive Piazza Terminal development at 1075 Germantown Avenue in Northern Liberties, North Philadelphia. Designed by Northern Liberties, BKV Group, the 1,144-unit project is the largest development currently underway in the neighborhood and will contribute a significant amount of public space. The project was developed by the Post Brothers, which has a number of projects around the city, such as The Poplar, located within a 15-minute walk from Piazza Terminal.

In the last update back in March, we observed three cranes swinging above the under-construction structures. The shortest crane was inn the process of adding a floor to the top of the existing parking garage. Higher above, the other two tower cranes were putting together the large residential structures. Amenity space was also underway, as the two-story fitness center was finished about a month before the update, and swimming pools were in progress at the ground level and on top of the parking garage. Cladding installation was also in the beginning stages.

Our recent visit revealed more progress at the site. To the north, one of the residential buildings stands nearly topped out. The structure is covered with green USG Boral glass mats, with its majority under scaffolding. At the south corner of the site, a new residential structure is about to go vertical as its first story is underway. In the next months, more concrete structures will join the development.
