The 16th Place on Philly YIMBY’s December Countdown Goes to 350-Foot-Tall Tower Proposed at 730 Schuylkill Avenue in Graduate Hospital, South Philadelphia

8:00 am on December 16, 2021 By Vitali Ogorodnikov

The 16th place on Philly YIMBY’s December 2021 Development Countdown is the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia‘s Roberts Center For Pediatric Research Phase 3, a 350-foot-tall, 21-story tower planned at 730 Schuylkill Avenue in Graduate Hospital, South Philadelphia. The building is a part of the CHOP’s four-tower master plan in Graduate Hospital, in the sub-section of the neighborhood also know as the Schuylkill section of Grays Ferry. The site sits directly to the southwest of the 375-foot-tall CHOP Roberts Center for Pediatric Research at 734 Schuylkill Avenue, which was built in 2017. Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, the architect for Phase 1, will likely to be the designer for the new tower, although, given the lack of progress at the site, it is possible that a different architect and/or design will be introduced in the future.
