Equal Justice Center Towers Set to Rise at 800 and 830 Vine Street in Chinatown, Center City

While many areas of Center City, notably Center City West, are budding with development, Chinatown still has a surprisingly high number of underdeveloped lots. A two-building proposal is slated for one such site at 800 Vine Street and 830 Vine Street. The Equal Justice Center Towers, developed by Pennrose Management Company and designed by Robert’s & Todd Design, will span a 3.2-acre lot and consist of a nine-story office building and a mixed-use 13-story structure with 132 market rate units, 53 affordable senior units, and 150 hotel rooms. A large public plaza will sit at the corner and run between the two buildings at a diagonal angle.
