The Marine Club Condominiums

All, Condos: $350 - $400 psf, South Philly

Posted by: Tim Stokes on Jan 20 09

The Marine Club Condominiums is a ambitious renovation project on South Broad Street. The building, built in 1904, originally served as an administrative and warehousing facility for the U.S. Marine Corp. Then, after a brief period as an apartment building, EB Realty turned the historic building into a collection of luxury condominiums.

The historic facade of the building belies its open, modern interior. The condo units feature high ceilings, large windows and a great sense of space. Clean lines and modern fixtures combine with wood floors and well conceived lighting to give each unit a great, high-end, urban feel.

The units are relatively modest in size and start in the low 100s which makes them accessible to a wide number of buyers. There are quite a few under contract already but still plenty left for those who want a luxury condo at a good value.

      The Murano Condominiums

      Center City, Condos: $450 - $500 psf, Rittenhouse

      Posted by: Tim Stokes on Jan 19 09

      The Murano Condominiums is a beautiful 42 story building on the corner of 21st and Market. This new, exciting addition to the Philadelphia skyline features 1-3 bedroom luxury condos behind its impressive glass facade. Located near many of Philly’s best restaurants and shopping, the Murano is an ideal base from which to experience urban living to the fullest.

      Solomon Cordwell Buenz, the architecture firm behind the Murano has designed a building that is both interesting and functional. The floor plans take advantage of the curved facade to present incredible views even in the lower floors. Rather than finding a challenge in the building’s unique shape, the designers have turned that shape into a benefit.

      The Murano features all of the amenities one would expect from a luxury condo building. There is valet parking, a concierge service and, of course, a fitness center. The building also adds a couple of unique ideas like a shared patio high above the city and an indoor pool with a view. Residents also have access to a hospitality area in case a party invite list exceeds the capacity of their unit.

      There is nothing particularly inexpensive about the Murano, but for those in the luxury condo market it could be a great value.

      Naval Square Condos and Townhomes by Toll Brothers

      Condos: $300 - $350 psf, Grays Ferry, New Condos, New Townhomes, Townhomes: $300 - $350 psf

      Posted by: Tim Stokes on Oct 13 08

      The Naval Square Community by Toll Brothers City Living is a large gated development in the Gray’s Ferry neighborhood. Featuring town homes and condos with names like “The Admiral Collection” or “The Surgeon’s Collection”, this development brings the Toll Brother’s aesthetic to the urban environment.

      Located within ambitious walking distance of all of Center City’s attractions and amenities, the Naval Square development still manages to deliver an almost suburban feel. The incorporation of existing trees and wide stretches of grass gives the development a park-like atmosphere while in the near distance the Philadelphia skyline rises to remind you that this is still the city.

      The homes have sold very well so far with many of the collections completely sold out and others down to the last few units. The newest addition, the Pemberton Collection, is the only one with substantial availability. These one to three bedroom condos start around 300k and offer 24 hour gated security, parking and access to the fitness center.
