Site Cleared at The Mark at 3615 Chestnut Street in University City, West Philadelphia
A recent site visit by Philly YIMBY has revealed that a construction site has been cleared for The Mark, a 34-story, 363-unit high-rise building at 3615 Chestnut Street in University City, West Philadelphia. The 414-foot-tall tower will rise from a through-block lot extending from Chestnut Street to the south and Ludlow Street to the north. Designed by the BKV Group and developed by Landmark Properties, the building will span 415,849 square feet and will feature extensive amenity space and parking for 70 cars and 96 bicycles. The latest permit, which covers the construction of the core and shell for the tower, lists Landmark Urban Construction PA as the contractor and specifies a construction cost of $45.1 million, of which $100,000 is allocated toward plumbing work.
