PROJECT SUMMARY

3720 Chestnut Street is a multifamily residential mixed-use project located

between Chestnut and Sansom Streets, mid-block between 37th and 38th

Street in University City. The project site consists of 26,546 s.f. that are part

of a broader 59,575 s.f. unity of use site which also encompasses the Penn/

Drexel Newman Center and the St. Agatha - St. James Parish. The site is zoned

CMX-4, Community Commercial Mixed-Use, the building being designed

within the zoning requirements. The project at 3720 Chestnut consists of a

427,1000 g.s.f., 30-story tower that will house 420 apartments along with its

support and amenity spaces, 4,000 s.f. of retail fronting Chestnut Street, and

underground parking for 40 vehicles and 142 bicycles.

The tower has two entrances off Chestnut Street and Samson Street that are

connected to a landscaped garden that links both streets at the pedestrian

level. The landscaped area also ties the streetscape to the retail spaces

fronting Chestnut Street. The base of the tower consists of two masonry-

clad volumes that flank the void of a double-height lobby which is focused on

gardens to the east and west of the space. The mixed-use high-rise building is

designed as a “tower-in-the-garden”, connecting Sansom Street and Chestnut

Street along a nicely planted and vibrant pedestrian promenade. Sited on a

block that is book-ended by two churches, the building enhances its context,

blending tenant amenities with public open space and retail through a series

of finely-scaled terraces, decks, and gardens.

The cladding on the base’s two volumes contrast and complement each other,

the north facing volume is a shell clad in light masonry, the south volume

is clad in a medium-dark masonry. The material palette is in-keeping with

the quality of the materials found in the adjacent institutional and religious

buildings. Above the base the materials transition to an equally contrasting

and complementing palette of metal and glass. The glass is of two types: the

glass at the north side of the building is a clear to blue glass with a hint of

reflectivity, the glass at the south end is a darker slightly grey glass which adds

depth and weight to the contrasting volume.

The redevelopment of the site will result in the incorporation of several

sustainable elements that will greatly enhance the quality and beauty of the

surrounding environment. The impervious asphalt paving that now covers

most of the site will be eliminated and replaced with a combination of in ground

landscaping and pervious paving, to manage stormwater and dramatically

reduce the heat island effect of current site conditions. The building will be

developed using sustainable materials and in accordance and potentially

exceeding ASHRAE energy standards. The project will provide hundreds of

residences near transit and in a building equipped with car share, green vehicles

and bike parking – and within walking distance to employment, services and

amenities – to support and foster sustainable and healthy lifestyles.

Location and Transportation

Access to Quality Transit

Locate a functional entry of the project within a ¼-mile (400-meter) walking distance of existing or planned bus, streetcar, or rideshare stops, bus rapid transit stops, light or heavy rail stations.

Reduced Parking Footprint

All new parking areas to be located in the rear yard of the property or under the building, and unenclosed or uncovered parking areas are 40% or less of the site area.

Green Vehicles

Designate 5% of all parking spaces used by the project as preferred parking for green vehicles or car share vehicles. Clearly identify and enforce for sole use by car share or green vehicles, which include plug-in electric vehicles and alternative fuel vehicles.

Bike Share StationIncorporate a bike share station in coordination with and conformance to the standards of Philadelphia Bike Share.

Sustainable Sites

Pervious Site Surfaces

Provides vegetated and/or pervious open space that is 30% or greater of the site's Open Area, as defined by the zoning code. Vegetated and/or green roofs can be included in this calculation.

Rainwater Management

Conform to the stormwater requirements of the Philadelphia Water Department(PWD) and either: A)Develop a green street and donate it to PWD, designed and constructed in accordance with the PWD Green Streets Design Manual, OR B) Manage additional runoff from adjacent streets on the development site, designed and constructed in accordance with specifications the PWD Stormwater Management Regulations

Heat Island Reduction (excluding roofs)

Reduce the heat island effect through either of the following strategies for 50% or more of all on-site hardscapes: A) Hardscapes that have a high reflectance, an SRI>29. B) Shading by trees, structures, or solar panels.

Philadelphia City Planning Commission

Yes - Surface parking will be removed and all parking will be located under the building.

No - A bike share station is locatednearby, on 38th & Sansom Street.

Yes - Turf, plantings and permeable pavers account for some 10,000 sf of total 15,000 sf of open space on site.

Yes - Three spaces are provided for electric vehicles and four spaces are provided for car share vehicles.

Yes - SEPTA has bus stops at: 38th & Chestnut and 37th & Chestnut and a trolley stop at 36th F Chestnut.

Yes- The project meets the design re-quirements from PWD. Developing a Green Street in the R.O.W. is not feasible due to multiple existing utilties in the footway of Chestnut St. Sansom St. has multiple utility laterals entering the site prohibiting stormwater mana-gement in the footway as well. The site constraints prevent managing additional R.O.W. stormwater.

Yes - The project employs concrete unit pavers with finishes and colors that meet the >29 SRI requirement. The bluestone pavers at the north of the site will also be light enough to meet surface reflection requirements.The tower, as well as the many pro-posed trees along the sloped garden-walk will provided abundant shade.

Meets or Exceeds the Benchmark (yes or no)?

If yes, please describe how or reference the applicable document in the CDR

Water Efficiency

Outdoor Water Use

Maintain on-site vegetation without irrigation. OR, reduce the watering requirements to at least 50% from the calculated baseline for the site's peak watering month.

Energy and Atmosphere

Energy Commissioning

Acquire a separate, independent commissioning service to insure that the energy related systems are installed, calibrated, and perform as intended.

Energy Performance

The project will reduce energy consumption by: Achieving 10% energy saving or more from an established baseline using ASHRAE standard 90.1-2010, OR by conforming to ASHRAE Advanced Energy Design Guide for Commercial Buildings.

On-Site Renewable Energy

Produce renewable energy on-site that will provide at least 3% of the project's anticipated energy usage.

Innovation

InnovationAny other sustainable measures that could positively impact the public realm.

Philadelphia City Planning Commission

Yes - The project will meet code established energy minimums. Design team will evaluate additional energy savings above code minimum.

No - Energy commissioning is not being considered at this time, but it Is not being ruled out.

No - Additional innovation measures Are not being considered at this time, but they are not being ruled out.

No - On-site renewable energy is not being considered at this time, but it Is not being ruled out.

Yes - The projectʼs soil mixes and depths will likely require some irrigation, but it will reach 50% reduction in water use.
