Philadelphia, PA — O’Donnell & Naccarato (O&N) celebrated the grand opening Wednesday of Broad + Noble, a brand-new, luxury apartment tower in Center City. With views of the city skyline, the 19-story, 326,000 s/f residential high rise offers a full slate of amenity spaces, as well as a blend of retail and office space and secure below-ground parking.
O&N provided structural engineering services for the $112 million project, in partnership with developer Toll Brothers Apartment Living and architect Barton Partners. The building, which broke ground in 2021, features a traditional brick exterior in a nod to the historic industrial architecture of Philadelphia’s Callowhill neighborhood and overlooks a sprawling landscaped plaza with a separate, two-story retail space, nestled between its massive L-shaped footprint.
Residents of the 344-unit apartment complex will also be treated to a sky lounge with private dining, as well as outdoor terraces and a rooftop deck created by setbacks at the building’s upper levels.
Broad + Noble is constructed almost exclusively with eight-inch precast plank floors, utilizing the Girder-Slab structural system to maximize space relative to the building’s height. The top-floor sky lounge is designed with a plank floor system on steel wide-flange beams, and large steel transfer beams interrupt the spacing of columns and highly coordinated brace frames within the residential floors to permit a transition to amenity spaces and below-grade parking on the first and second floors below.
