Philadelphia YIMBY’s recent site visit has observed that the construction site has been cleared at 412 North 2nd Street in Northern Liberties, Lower North Philadelphia. The development will rise between 2nd, Callowhill, and Willow streets in the southeast corner of Northern Liberties, near the Delaware River waterfront and a block north of Old City. Designed by Morris Adjmi Architects and developed by National Real Estate Development, LLC, (aka National Development) and The KRE Group, the tower will span 351,927 square feet and hold 397 residential units, 20,431 square feet of retail, and 105 parking spaces. Construction costs are listed at $93 million.

The tower slab, perched upon a low-rise podium, will anchor the budding Southern Northern Liberties skyline together with the 316-foot-tall, 27-story residential high-rise planned at 300 North Christopher Columbus Boulevard two blocks to the southeast across the elevated Interstate 95 viaduct. In contrast to the serrated form of 300 North Columbus, the tower planned at 412 North 2nd Street will a more conservative yet equally, if not more so, sleek and stylish appearance.
Mullions in various shades of gray will add depth, texture, and character to an all-glass curtain wall. Floor-to-ceiling windows will be segmented into three-by-three panel arrays, creating a modern take on the classic apertures of loft factories that once dominated the area. Grouped into four-story-tall, three-bay-wide sections, the building’s exterior will take on a rigorous hierarchy of square and rectangular forms that spans from the overall building shape down to the individual window panel.
Demolition was underway the last time YIMBY visited the site in July. Since that time, the site has been cleared completely, down to a clean slate, although excavation has not yet begun.
