First Look of Skyline From 28th Floor of Luxurious Living ArtHaus

February 18, 2021 by HughE Dillon Leave a comment

Philadelphians were invited to an open-air performance Serenade on the Avenue held Saturday Valentine’s Day eve and were invited to see raw space on the 28th floor of the new condo/apartment building in Center City under construction ArtHaus.

The 47-story, 524-foot-high tower at Broad and Spruce Streets whose tag line, “live at the intersection of art and beauty” .

The Broad and Spruce Street tower will stand 47 stories and host 108 balconied condominiums with beautiful views of Philadelphia, that will range in price from $2 million to more than $10 million,

Last fall Carl Dranoff, CEO of Dranoff Properties and Developer of Arthaus told Metro Philly, “I thought our giant construction site could somehow be retrofitted to bring about an outdoor performance like the Greeks did with their amphitheaters.” Serenade on the Avenue debuted last September from a temporary stage facing City Hall on the 7th floor of the Arthaus construction site across from the Kimmel Center, for three special concerts.

Audience members lined the streets, some had heard about it through social media and news posts, others were just passing by.

It became a Wednesday night tradition for three consecutive weeks.

On Saturday as well as last fall, all the musicians were coordinated by AJ Luca, a faculty instructor at University of the Arts and a performer herself along with alumni, who performed love songs from Frank Sinatra, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran and Henry Mancini from the 7th-floor pop-up stage at Arthaus in celebration of Valentine’s Day.

After Saturday’s concert we were invited upstairs to enjoy the views from the 28th Floor.

The first residents are scheduled to move into Arthaus February 2022.

In a ceremony at the Kimmel Center Tuesday, Carl Dranoff revealed what he called “the crowning achievement of my career,” a 47-story, 528-foot condo tower called Arthaus at Broad and Spruce streets along the famed Avenue of the Arts and at the former spot where for years the Philadelphia International Record stood until a fire destroyed the building nearly a decade ago.

Designed by firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, the 47-story condominium tower will have 108 condominiums priced from $2M to $10M, all of which will have floor-to-ceiling windows with at least one corner for panoramic views.

Arthaus is purposely set back from the corner, Carl told me, so the residents will have unobstructed views on all floors. According to the design company KPF, “With a design inspired by its context, the massing of the Arthaus tower is modulated into four rectangular volumes. Each of these bundled rectangles rises to a different height, creating a distinctive tower top. The stepped, interlocking boxes also provide large outdoor terraces. The tower wall of Arthaus features a vertical expression balanced by horizontal terraces at each corner, which offer sweeping views of Philadelphia from the Delaware River to the Schuylkill River.

At the base of Arthaus, brick and terra cotta feature walls along Broad and Spruce Streets relate to the material language of the neighborhood, while the tower’s high-performing glass facade is detailed with white aluminum mullions that add texture and variety. ” (KFC) – I also love how the drop off driveway leading to the front door is internal, and not just a curb cut out.

The balconies at Arthaus are 16 x 8 feet and are contained within the footprint of the building, so it won’t be as windy Carl Dranoff told me.
The building’s outdoor spaces will feature a year-round rooftop greenhouse, individual planting beds, a reflecting pool, lawn, and sun deck. Additional amenities include a 75-foot indoor lap pool and state-of-the-art fitness center overlooking the Kimmel Center, a tranquil library, board room, club room, dining salon, café with demonstration kitchen and kids’ playroom.

I can’t wait to see Arthaus complete in a couple years, and to have more life on South Broad Street. Check out additional photos of who was there on CBSPhilly and PhillyStyle Magazine
