I served as Project Lead for this transformative mixed-use development proposal, set in the heart of Philadelphia’s emerging waterfront district. Anchored by a new arena for the Philadelphia 76ers and with 4.2 million square feet of development including residential and commercial complexes, as well as a wide variety of retail, dining, and entertainment amenities, the design creates a vibrant new waterfront destination for the city of Philadelphia.
Primary Responsibilites:
A continuous waterfront esplanade that runs the entire length of the development site. The proposed Park at Penn’s Landing, bridging the busy Interstate 95, as well as improvements to the multi-modal Delaware River Trail and a new South Street pedestrian bridge extension ensure that the development ties into the surrounding historic neighborhoods of Old City, Independence Mall and Society Hill.
The new ~18,500-seat arena will be home to the Philadelphia 76ers and host an active and diverse program of music and performance events. On the north side of the new Park at Penn’s Landing, a new mixed-use retail, office, residential, and arena development will activate the waterfront all year-round. On the opposite side, a multi-use residential, retail, and entertainment district will activate the Park as well as the Marina Basin to the south.
