Rittenhouse square is so nice, and such an established neighborhood. I sure hope Mayor Nutter and Philadelphia citizens do not have to wait ten years before owners at this condo start paying real estate taxes.
Another large over priced condo building that will sit mostly empty for the next several years.
Anything that attracts people to live in the city is a good thing.
Last time I checked, longshanks, Center City is at about 97% capacity. Wanting Philly to be a lousy city with all of your heart, doesn't create that reality. Maybe you should try a new hobby?
I love the creative use of the name "10 Rittenhouse". The building is really on 18th and Sansom. It did turn out really nice though.
Minor nit - 10 Rittenhouse was designed not by Robert A M Stern, but by Graham Whyatt, a partner in Stern's firm. Whyatt is also the Architect of Comcast Center.
What kind of a "peek" is that? There are two pictures and neither one is worth a darn. This is bush league, Inquirer!!!
A peek at 10 Rittenhouse Square is all we got. Two pix and one of them is of people?
Love it, but love my beautiful Northern Liberties condo (costing a fraction of the price and almost as nice) even more!
Comment removed.
More LUXURY CONDOS as the city CRIES BROKE. Just what we need. You HIGH-POST folks just make sure you PAY YOUR TAXES!!!!
Guess I'm just a "country mouse" but I can't see spending that money only to walk outside everyday and see (and be approached by)all the homeless that I see there all the time. Plus, couple years ago it wasn't far from there that the center city rapist was on his crime spree. Years before that Walnut street, adjacent, was a complete sewer. Also, stand still anywhere in the city for 2 minutes and a piece of trash will go blowing by you. I just don't get the appeal.
If someone can afford a multi million dollar condo, don't you think they have a high income level? Have you all forgotten that incomes are taxed through the Philly wage tax? Let's also remember that these folks are probably not a burden to the City of Philadelphia like some folks are. WELCOME 10 Rittenhouse Residents and CITY of Philadelphia - please keep the abatement alive!
"Covet not thy neighbor's house!" Am I detecting a little envy and jealousy here?
This a an excellent project. Hope to see more of these great buildings being built around Center City in the years to come. This is the exactly the types of developments Center City needs more of.
