  • 1820 Rittenhouse Square Condominiums in Philadelphia

    An elegant, modern styled Rittenhouse Square high-rise, known simply as "1820". Two units per floor (two large units per floor!), each (generally) having a tremendous view of "The Square". Parking on premises, this elegant building boasts one of the most prestigious addresses in the city. Rarely available, 1820 is wonderfully situated on the south side of the square. 24-hour doorman. 

    Known simply to Philadelphia folks as "1820", 1820 Rittenhouse Condominium sits on the south side of Rittenhouse Square and was the first building back in the late 1980's to garner a sale price of $1M. A total of 31 units...an overwhelming majority are 3217 sq ft in size- and are divided up in between east and west units..simply mirror images of one another.

  • 1830 Rittenhouse Square Condominiums

    Known simply by Philadelphians as "1830", the condominium building sits on the south of Rittenhouse Square and was the first high-rise to appear on the Square back in the mid-1920's. Originally an apartment building- this Beaux Art styled building is hailed as one of the finest examples of pre-war architecture amongst the condo set here in Philadelphia. The condos at 1830 Rittenhouse are unique in the fact that very few- if any of the condos in the building are alike...having been broken up and added onto over the years.




    What few know is that there are two penthouse units here- and both are only accessible by taking the elevator to the 18th floor- then walking up a flight of stairs to reach those two condos....when built- these were the maid's quarters/apartments for the "help" in the building....and 1830 is the last remaining condominium building in town that have elevator attendants. The condos range in size from 1000 sq ft one bedroom units to entire floor condos which are over 5000 sq. ft. in size. I believe there may even be a few bi-level condos in the building....but I am pulling that from a shaded memory from years ago. The condos at 1830 Rittenhouse do not offer parking, but other options around Rittenhouse Sq. do exist. The doormen at 1830 are nothing short of kind and helpful. I have sold a few units in the building over the years- just know that there are not a lot of units in the building (41 total). A really fantastic groovy pre-war condo building with lots of cache and some terrific views of Rittenhouse Square.

  • Center City One Condos at 1326 Spruce St.

    These Washington Square West condos are located in the 19107 zip code, and all units at Center City One are flats- no loft condo units at 1326 Spruce exist. Near the center of Philadelphia, these condos at Broad and Spruce Streets have great views- either offering nice city views or wonderfully bright southern views.

  • The Residences at The Ritz Carlton - 1414 Penn Square

    I love the Ritz. Love. I think the fit and finish, along with the pricing structure, location and staff are nothing short of top notch. The amenities floor includes a large pool, huge gym, hot tub and one of the most comfortable and actually usable community rooms I have seen in town- and guess what- owners actually use it (rare for these rooms to get good use, but this one is so comfy that it actually gets used). Great outdoor space off the community room as well. The A and G units face south, and they are both two bedroom condos- and I think a terrific value- I have sold two of these units in my day and my clients LOVE living at 1414 S. Penn Square. The B units are the only stack with balconies. I also find the F units to be very popular with many of my buyers. Though to be honest, I don't think my clients would turn their nose up at any unit here if the unit happened to fall into their price range. 




    Units all have high-end finishes with floor to ceiling windows. Bathrooms are oversized and spacious. You have to palettes to choose from in terms of finishes, and I don't see a whole lot of difference between the two- meaning my buyers tend to like both options. Parking and extra storage are available at an additional price. Owners of condos at the Ritz Carlton have access to the Town car to take them around town. The penthouses are nothing short of stunning... and you may have an opportunity to buy them raw and finish them to your liking. The building is a very attractive blue glass and from the curb, provides an interesting look and feel to the neighborhood.
