Broad Street view

Today was pretty frigid, but we managed to field a group of 10 people to tour our new Southstar Lofts project which is under construction at the corner of Broad and South Streets.  The 85 unit apartment building is about three quarters of the way done.  We were able to view the construction at various levels of completion since each floor is a little bit more done than the next.  see all the pictures from the tour here.

Southstar Update

Elevator shaft going up

looking East: steel going in

Things are moving along at our Southstar Lofts construction site at the corner of Broad and South Streets in the city.  After a few weeks of digging and hundreds and hundreds of truckloads of dirt, we're finally seeing this baby peeking it's head out of the ground. Steel arrived Friday and a lot of it is already in place.  Block walls at the eastern end of the site have broken the surface, and the elevator shaft is up to the second floor.  Five more floors to go!

Southstar in the daily Metro

Southstar Lofts, the 85 unit apartment building we designed at the corners of Broad and South Streets is still just a hole in the ground, but it's been generating some excitement along the Avenue of the Arts.  It recently received a pretty nice little endorsement in the daily Metro Paper.  South Street is heating up, and we're glad to be a part of it.

Finally, real construction has started.  Although it may not be much to look at just yet, we're pretty excited about the hole!With the lagging erected, we're almost completely dug out and foundation walls coming soon.

It's been a while since we had some big news with our Southstar Lofts project, but yesterday was our official groundbreaking held at the Suzanne Roberts Theater.  The Dranoff team held a knockout event, complete with all the important politicians and movers and shakers, even the Phillie Phanatic was there.  Clemens Construction has already been hard at work at the site a few blocks away.  We're almost done digging.  Check back for more updates.
