Construction Still Not Started at 33 North 22nd Street in Center City West

Philadelphia YIMBY’s recent site visit has observed that, years after the original proposal was released, site preparation work has still not started at a 328-foot-tall, 29-story residential high-rise proposed at 33 North 22nd Street in Center City West, a year and a half after a construction permit was issued in November 2021. Designed by Solomon Cordwell Buenz and developed by the PMC Property Group (which is also listed as the contractor), the high-rise will span 456,380 square feet and supply 341 apartments as well as a garage for use both by the building’s residents as well as customers of the adjacent Trader Joe’s supermarket, which currently uses the outdoor parking lot at the building site. Permits specify a construction cost of $136 million.

YIMBY Observes the Rise of Center City West

Center City West is a section of Center City located roughly between 21st, Chestnut, and Arch streets and the Schuylkill River. For decades, the neighborhood was comprised primarily of parking lots, yet in recent years the area has been on the rise with a large number of projects that have recently been completed, underway, and proposed. The largest developments that have originally been completed in the neighborhood are the PECO Building, completed in 1970, and the Aramark Headquarters which renovated the structure of an existing building at 2400 Market Street in 2019.
