The National is a new development located at the site of the iconic orange wall in the heart of Old City Philadelphia. The development in many ways is a microcosm of Old City itself, an urban blend of sensitively scaled buildings, townhouses, landscaped gardens and pedestrian courtyards. It combines the most modern design and materials with historic preservation, mixes residential and retail and offers its residents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience what National Geographic Traveler magazine recently called "the liveliest urban neighborhood” between SoHo and South Beach."
The full scope of the development encompasses not only a new six-story building rising above the orange wall on 2nd Street, but will also be the home to a ten-story building on Arch Street and nine unique townhouses nestled within a professionally-landscaped interior courtyard. The project boasts open space across 35% of the entire site and includes the renovation of Flagpole Park—the historic gateway to neighboring Elfreth’s Alley. The 2nd Street building — the first to be released for sale to our VIP registrants — features a stunning collection of studio, one- and two-bedroom condominiums, ranging in size from 600 to 1,800 square feet. These units will be priced from the mid $300,000’s and residents will take advantage of a generous 10-year tax abatement.
The residences will be a true reflection of digital-age design. A pioneering user interface platform, wireless high-speed internet connectivity, standard video/audio packages and a universe of possible upgrades are just some of the features that will make The National the most technologically-advanced residential community in Philadelphia.
The residences will mix practicality with mod sophistication and be highlighted by their gourmet kitchens, large windows, 10’ ceilings, continuous hardwood flooring and an inspired collection of finish materials and textures. The overwhelming majority of homes will also enjoy private outdoor space either via courtyard patios, terraces or balconies—not to mention some of the most amazing city, river and bridge views in Philadelphia.
Residents will also experience the peace of mind of living in one of the city’s most secure buildings, boasting a network of digitally monitored surveillance cameras, convenient parking in an on-site underground garage a staffed two-story lobby.
