Steel Frame Rises at Broad and Noble in Callowhill, North Philadelphia

As seen in Philly YIMBY’s recent construction photos, major construction progress has been made at Broad and Noble, a 19-story, 344-unit development 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 list a construction cost of $70 million.
