During Philly YIMBY’s recent site visit, we noted that construction work on exterior cladding is nearing completion at Broad and Noble, a 19-story, 344-unit complex underway at 435-43 North Broad Street in Callowhill, Lower North Philadelphia, since our last visit in April. The project derives its name from its location at the northeast corner of Broad and Noble streets. Designed by Barton Partners and developed by Toll Brothers, with Clemens Construction Company as the contractor, the building has risen nearly to its full height of 231 feet, with fireproofing and interior partition work currently in progress. Upon completion, the project will span 371,302 square feet and will feature retail and underground parking. Permits specify a construction cost of $70 million.

Since our last visit in June, cladding work has wrapped up on the upper floors and only remains to be finished on the ground floor of the low-rise retail structure and the main tower.

For a long period of time, the lower section of North Broad Street, which extends from Center City to the south to Temple University to the north, was a dismal sight of urban dereliction and underused prime real estate in the center of the city. Thankfully, in recent years, several large developments, such as include Broad and Noble, as well as general street improvements, are finally restoring the section of the street to an active and vibrant promenade.
