MIC Tower

Philadelphia Real Estate Blog

After Stantec Architecture was asked to improve its MIC Tower behind Lit Brothers, the firm came back to the Historical Commission with a slightly better design. The tower still adheres to its premise of blending into the historic Lit Brothers building rather than attempting to add anything significant.

Along with NREA's East Market proposal for the Girard Trust Block, the MIC tower will bring the residents and shoppers that Market East has been begging for. While the MIC Tower will remain largely unnoticed from Market Street, the Filbert Street apartment building will add 29 floors to the city's relatively shallow eastside skyline.
