SITIO’s two-pronged project - The Chestnut at University City and The Penn Drexel Newman Center has received a ULI Philadelphia Award for Excellence. The multi-faceted project is the product of a private/institutional partnership between EQT Exeter and the associated institutional entities that support the Penn/Drexel Newman Center - the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and the Parish of St. Agatha - St. James.
The project consists of a sensitively integrated complex of interconnected mixed-use buildings and courtyards that weave together with the adjacent Penn and Drexel University campuses and University City - both the new 30-story/405-unit tower of The Chestnut and the adaptive re-use of the historic buildings that house the Newman Center and the Parish of St. Agatha - St. James.
This biennial award represents the highest standards of achievement in the development industry and recognizes outstanding and transformational land use developments, best practices, and creative visioning. Learn more about the project here and at ULI Philadelphia.
