The Irvine in Philadelphia, PA.
PHILADELPHIA, PA – In an effort to highlight and celebrate the best developments in adaptive reuse, we examined countless projects for GlobeSt.com's ADAPT awards. This year, we have selected The Irvine in Philadelphia, PA as the winner for excellence in innovative reuse of abandoned space. We will be honoring the project at our awards ceremony in Baltimore on September 16th.
The Irvine is a former warehouse facility built 100 years ago at 780 S. 52nd St. in the University City neighborhood of West Philadelphia. Before Post Brothers acquired the 115,000-square-foot building, it was a seven-story redevelopment project called Apple Lofts but despite receiving zoning approval in early 2012, the project stalled out. Before that particular plan was in place, the building was an abandoned Apple Storage facility.
