MASTER PLAN
The Schuylkill Yards project on Market St & JFK Blvd blocks in Philadelphia, PA will be built across 14 acres of underutilized land directly adjacent to 30th Street Station, the nation’s 3rd busiest train station.
- The Schuylkill Yards will become one of the most mixeduse and transit-rich developments in the United States.
- Each building will be intentionally designed by different architects over time, in turn creating a highly diverse character across the project area.
PUBLIC REALM
The Schuylkill Yards features 6.5 Acres of publicly accessible open space (nearly the same size as Rittenhouse Square):
- A 1.3 Acre public square in front of a reimagined Bulletin Building
- A shared street esplanade along JFK Boulevard that reinforces the pedestrian connection between the Drexel, the Armory and 30th Street station.
- Over 1.5 miles of vibrant, active streetscapes complete with new pedestrian-friendly urban furniture and bicycle infrastructure
