THE LAUREL


DESIGN

Such an iconic location demanded that we design something beautiful and timeless that the people of Philadelphia could be proud of.


Clara Wineberg, Principal, SCB Architects

LUXURY RESIDENCES REFLECTING TRADITION AND INNOVATION

Designed by the internationally renowned Solomon Cordwell Buenz (SCB) of Chicago and San Francisco, The Laurel soars to the pinnacle of Philadelphia’s skyline in a strikingly modern architectural statement. Solidly rooted in Philadelphia’s brick-and-stone traditions, the building’s pedestal forms a welcoming streetscape of carefully curated restaurants and retailers. The slender glass tower ascends 48 stories above the final parcel of land on historic Rittenhouse Square, reserving its uppermost floors for a private realm of exclusive condominium residences, lavish amenities and inspiring views.


Elevated, Private Urban Lifestyle

While the luxury tower residences will feature a secure, private entrance and fully-serviced lobby, all of the fine dining, high-end shopping, world-class arts and cultural scene, and energy of Center City are right downstairs. Ground floor retail and dining provide added convenience.


INSPIRED INTERIORS GRACED WITH A TIMELESS SENSE OF STYLE.

The graceful ambiance of The Laurel is being created by ForrestPerkins, award-winning interior design studio of the global architecture and design firm, Perkins Eastman. Recognizing that luxury is in the details, the firm’s inspired selection of finishes, features, lighting and artwork sustain an artful balance of the classic and contemporary – from the impressive, two-story lobby to stunning club level amenities overlooking the city from the 26th floor.

LIFESTYLE

The main amenity spaces were designed to create unique experiences, and the private residents’ club on the 26th floor was designed as a peaceful retreat from the city below.

Center City Living At It's Most Refined

The Laurel presents a lifestyle worthy of this final new luxury high-rise opportunity on historic Rittenhouse Square. The carefree condominium lifestyle starts with a private entry where a doorman and concierge welcome you home.

​​​​​​​

Each day dawns with endless opportunities to indulge in the finest shopping, dining, culture and recreation that downtown Philadelphia has to offer – much of it steps from your luxurious new condominium residence on legendary Rittenhouse Row.

Enjoy a morning swim in the heated indoor pool or stretch in the yoga studio. Stroll to dinner in the neighborhood. Be chauffeured to a show in The Laurel’s private town car. Host a catered gathering of family and friends in the elegant, 26th floor lounge overlooking Rittenhouse Square. Whatever your pleasure, The Laurel opens life to new horizons.

Limited Time Intensives

Taking luxury to even greater heights The Laurel has joined forces with Wheels Up to offer membership options that provide our residents with exclusive access to private aviation services, while also providing once-in-a-lifetime experiences on the ground.
