This project, located on an iconic historic street in Philadelphia, posed a lot of interesting challenges. First, we completed many different feasibility studies for our client, to assist them in determining which program and overbuild size best suited their proforma. After weighing the pros and cons of turning this historic building into apartments versus hotel, and adding two stories versus four, the hotel ultimately won out.
Throughout this process, I consistently balanced the needs and goals of the client with the requirements for both local and national tax credits. I also worked on the massing for the overbuild and facade and fenestration within the courtyard.
