Inconvenient location.

It’s a fine location. Right on the Delaware River and across I-95 from the rest of South Philly.

It’s isolated.

I agree, but it’s prime, underdeveloped land, adjacent to the city. Over time, if it gets built up, transit connections can improve accessibility there. Kinda reminds me of how Jersey City is building up their west side and extending the light rail.


„ YAS P.C. was engaged by the developer to value engineer this 43-story 600,000 square foot residential tower. The tower, adjacent to the Delaware River, had been designed using a 10 foot thick mat covering the whole area of the project. The structure was a combination steel and metal deck requiring hung ceiling throughout the apartment portion of the project.“
