A recent site visit by Philly YIMBY has discovered that excavation is in progress at the future site of a 13-story, 355-unit mixed-use tower 200 Spring Garden Street (also known as 200-24 Spring Garden Street) in Northern Liberties, Lower North Philadelphia, where a fitness center continues to operate. Designed by Handel Architects and developed by National Real Estate Development and the KRE Group, the new building will rise 177 feet to the top of the bulkhead (or 149 feet to the main roof) and offer nearly 298,668 square feet of residential space, 18,187 square feet of retail, an expansive roof deck, parking 106 cars and 116 bicycles, and a landscaped public promenade along the property’s west side.
When we last visited the site last November, a gym continued to operate at the location. As seen in the above photos, by now the structure has been demolished and excavation is in early stages of progress.
200 Spring Garden Street will bring significant residential density to a centrally located yet long-neglected part of Northern Liberties. We look forward to further progress on the development.

Will help bring & connect the two neighborhoods. A great start!
The curved front reminds me of the old Gimbal department store on Chestnut Street but with dark brick. The back reminds of a holiday Inn in the suburbs with the identical stacked punch windows. The cantilever with slopes columns reminds me of Christiana Crescent in Wilmington. BARF!
