RESCHEDULED: Public Meeting re 2402 Market St. Project, Thurs, 5/19, 7 PM, Lutheran Church, 21st & Chestnut St
A neighborhood meeting will be held to elicit comments on plans proposed for 2402 Market, the former " Marketplace Design Center". The parcel is currently zoned CMX 4, a commercial mixed use classification which permits a 500 FAR (floor area ratio) so that the project's square footage can amount to 5 times the lot size. The existing structure is 5 stories in height and, according to the developer, contains 268,000 square feet. The plans call for a 15 story tower rising from the fifth floor. The ground floor, about 34,000 sq. ft., will house restaurants and retail at street level. Floors 2-8 will contain 973,000 sq. ft. of office space with floor-to-ceiling windows. Floors 9-20 will house 313 luxury apartments (including 1,2,and 3 bedroom units, lounges, roof terraces, and fitness center).
A newly constructed riverfront promenade, landscaped for public use, will connect Market and Chestnut Streets to accommodate outdoor dining and recreation, along with street level improvements around the building. Parking will be provided in an adjacent garage.
Pursuant to the zoning code, a non binding Civic Design Review meeting will be held on May 31 at 1 pm on the 18th Floor of 1515 Arch Street.

Opening Reception: Friday, 5/13, 6 PM
"From sunsets to painted hills, from colorful leaves to rocks in the river, from birds in flight or on the water to flowing streams and mushrooms on fallen trees - all these patterns reflect a beauty present in everything. Dostoevsky noted in The Idiot that beauty will save the earth. I believe
this and hope my portrayal of small reflections of this beauty will move
your soul to recognition of deeper connections." - Andy Smith
