A new 307-foot, 23-story mixed-use high-rise is soon coming to 2301 John F. Kennedy Boulevard in Center City West, writes Vitali Ogorodinikov for Philly YIMBY.

The curvy tower will rise on a narrow, wedge-shaped lot by the Schuylkill River waterfront and will contain 334,201 square feet of interior space.

The development will feature 287 residential units, in addition to office space and parking for 44 cars and 96 bicycles.

Construction is still underway, as the concrete frame currently stands three stories tall and the building’s signature curvy shape is already discernible.

Its glass and curved form is one of the most sophisticated new skyscraper designs the city has seen in years, and while it isn’t particularly tall, it will nevertheless make an impact on the skyline.

It will also help bridge the gap between Center City and University City and bring vibrancy to a currently forlorn section of the boulevard.

The new tower is designed by Solomon Cordwell Buenz and developed by PMC Property Group, which also serves as the contractor.
