Progress at Schuylkill's Newest Condo Project, One Riverside

The newest 22-story jewel of the Schuylkill, One Riverside, will begin its steady rise in a week when the concrete foundation is laid. Philly Mag reported that the large concrete pour will begin October 9 and end October 10. The concrete will be used for the foundation for the building as well as the subterranean parking garage and two recreational areas, which include a pocket park and an outdoor area with a kitchen. A new change to the development is that there will be around 60 to 65 units in the development, not the previously reported 82. Philadelphia-based architecture firm Cecil Baker & Partners designed the condos to have flexible floor plans, private terraces, and a private elevator for a number of units. The development will also include a 60-foot indoor pool with a sundeck, a fitness center with saunas and steam rooms, a business center, and a guest hospitality suite. First move-ins are expected to begin by early 2017.
