CHoP Expands Across the River

I can't keep up with Philadelphia's potentially changing skyline. It's like 2003 again, and it's awesome. Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has outgrown University City and is expanding to the east side of the Schuylkill River. In what will be a phased development along Schuylkill Avenue consisting of four highrise and midrise towers, CHoP is prepared to break ground this summer on its 375 foot 700 Schuylkill Avenue.

The project will enhance the growing Schuylkill Banks providing a public park and waterfront promenade. Like Cira Centre, the complex is being designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli and Ballinger.
