Built in 1925, the stately Georgian Revival Tower stands revitalized as 267 unique residences available for immediate occupancy. Centrally located at the axis of Arch Street, Sixteenth Street and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, The Phoenix is the "cornerstone" to one of the world's most prominent cultural districts. The Phoenix combines the convenience of location with carefully preserved architectural details, contemporary design and modern technology. With 267 condo homes to choose from, The Phoenix offers something for everyone: studios; lofts; townhouses; as well as one and two bedroom residences, many with a den. Thirty-two residence styles-that provide the rare opportunity to showcase ones individuality and design taste-are priced starting in the high $100's. THE BUILDING In a city poised for cultural renaissance, The Phoenix is a refined architectural statement. Renovated and revitalized by prominent Philadelphia developer, Daniel J. Keating, III, the National Historic Landmark retains the remarkable craftsmanship and exquisite stonework of its original construction. The stunning façade, punctuated by granite Corinthian columns, carved eagles perched on globes and limestone cornice crowns, recaptures the spirit of a bygone era. Through the bronze entryways, are exquisite interior spaces graced with elaborate architectural inscriptions—marble walls and floors, coffered ceilings, bronze elevator doors, and intricate mill and plaster work. Among the bevy of new construction and architectural styles emerging throughout Center City Philadelphia, The Phoenix stands alone in its historic grandeur, and cannot be rivaled by any new construction in the City. The Phoenix offers 267 condominium homes—from studios to penthouses—available for immediate occupancy. A symphony of columns, black-and-white marble floors, and sparkling chandeliers define the residential lobbies and corridors that lead to 32 distinct residence styles—each as spectacular as it is unique.
