amenities—several dining options, event space, live poker, and also a parking garage. It is beautiful, spacious, and a real game-changer for our team, our players, and the city.” A mega development is planned for the area along the Schuylkill River. Led by developers NP International, the new project, River Walk (np-international.com), will have three mixed-use towers, including residential spaces, a hotel, and retail shops. “River Walk is a mixed-use development that seeks to bring retail, commercial, residential, and hotel amenities to a prime location within the greater Center City area,” says Brent Reynolds, president and managing partner of NP International. The tower will occupy the previously vacant lot east and west between 23rd Street and the Schuylkill and north and south between JFK Boulevard and Race Street. “With close proximity to 30th Street Station, downtown, and the Schuylkill River, this site will provide resources for its users and neighbors alike, as well as achieving a thoughtfully planned residential environment.” With an approval from the Philadelphia Planning Commission, the first building will sit 42 floors above the ground, with the other two reaching half that height at 21 stories. An additional aspect, pegged as the Arch Street Promenade, will act as a link between the residential and retail spaces. “The development team has been working closely to be responsive to the various stakeholders in order to create a plan that is executable and maximizes the property’s potential in the best interest of Logan Square, the City of Philadelphia, and the project itself,” adds Reynolds. “Site considerations for view corridors and parking impacts have undergone careful consideration in cultivating the proper design solution.” The developers are also creating a pedestrian staircase and handicapped-accessible ramp. The ramp will float just above the river from JFK Boulevard and extend to below 23rd and Cuthbert Streets, which, according to Reynolds, will make the area much more accessible. “This is a true gateway project as you enter Philadelphia’s core traversing from 30th Street Station along JFK.” Society Hill is gaining new modern living amenities with 410 at Society Hill (513 S. Second St., 215-592-8655; 410societyhill.com), developed by Toll Brothers City Living.
