I don’t know if I’m liking this new development growth by Rittenhouse Square. The Laurel blocks One Liberty and Two Liberty from South Street Bridge
Demo permits have been posted on site, and apparently it was stated on SSP that the historical building on the corner is staying up while the rest are being demolished

" Pearl Properties is set to start work on a 50-story apartment tower in Rittenhouse Square four years after the project was initially proposed.
The building at 113-19 S. 19th St., named Harper Square , will be a companion to The Harper, a 24-story luxury apartment tower Pearl Properties completed on the other side of the street in 2019.
Pearl Properties is now beginning the demolition of three four-story buildings at 113-19 S. 19th St. , a one-story building at 1823 Sansom St. that previously housed Cavanaugh’s Rittenhouse sports bar , and a two-story building at 1821 Sansom St. after receiving demolition permits for the property in October. Work to raze the buildings is expected to be completed by September, according to a sign posted at the site.
Harper Square is planned to have 183 units and 30,180 square feet of commercial space, including three retail or restaurant spaces . It would be 567 feet tall, only slightly shorter than the 48-story Laurel , Philadelphia’s tallest residential tower at 599 feet.
Three adjacent buildings listed on Philadelphia’s Register of Historic Places — at 121 S. 19th St., 1822 Chestnut St. and 1824 Chestnut St. — will be left as-is, according to the terms of the agreement."
