Historic elegance meets modern luxury in the heart of Philadelphia
The Phoenix, an iconic landmark in Philadelphia's Logan Square, stands as a testament to the city's rich architectural heritage. Completed in 1925, this 20-story Beaux-Arts masterpiece, designed by Bower Lewis Thrower Architects, houses 267 condominium units. Originally the headquarters of the Insurance Company of North America, the building has been meticulously transformed into a residential haven that seamlessly blends historic charm with contemporary comforts. Its prime location at 1600 Arch Street places residents at the epicenter of Philadelphia's cultural and business districts, offering unparalleled views of Love Park, City Hall, and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
Diverse layouts with panoramic city views
The Phoenix offers a range of living spaces to suit various lifestyles, from cozy studios to expansive three-bedroom residences. Studios, starting at approximately 500 square feet, provide efficient living with prices around $240,000. One-bedroom units, spanning 515 to 1,187 square feet, are available from $250,000 to $425,000, featuring one to two bathrooms. Two-bedroom layouts, ranging from 1,077 to 1,467 square feet, are priced between $399,000 and $689,000, offering one and a half to two bathrooms. For those seeking ultimate luxury, three-bedroom units boast approximately 3,800 square feet with three and a half bathrooms, commanding monthly rents around $21,000.
Many units showcase hardwood floors, high ceilings, and large windows that frame stunning city vistas.

Some residences feature walk-in closets, spa-like bathrooms with double vanities, and in-unit washers and dryers. Select apartments offer unique touches such as fireplaces, custom built-ins, or step-up floor plans between dining and living areas.
Monthly HOA fees range from $300 to $800, covering exterior building maintenance, recreation facilities, reserve funds, snow removal, and management services. This fee structure ensures the continued upkeep and enhancement of the building's historic charm and modern amenities.
Five-star amenities for an elevated lifestyle

Unparalleled connectivity in the city center
