The Ludlow

The Ludlow at East Market is part of a six-phase urban redevelopment that has transformed a previously lifeless central city block in Center City Philadelphia into a pedestrian-oriented, interconnected and lively mixed-use development. The Ludlow contains 323 apartments, expansive indoor and outdoor residential amenity spaces, two levels of over 100,000 sf of retail, and an extensive below-grade parking and loading facility that serves all six phases of the overall development.

Finished in warm wood tones, marble and ceramic tiles and bronze accents, and designed with multiple large punched windows in every room, the apartments take the form of light-filled, urban residences with elegant details. Multiple levels of amenity spaces provide residents with a diverse range of social, dining, and fitness programs, including a landscaped outdoor roof deck at level three and a well-appointed business and co-working center adjacent to the double-height lobby on the ground floor.

The exterior of the building is designed as a composition of precast architectural concrete at the residential tower floors and hand-crafted terracotta tiles cladding the lower levels of the project, enriching pedestrian experience. Additionally, a series of metal louvered awnings, signage armatures and large landscaped planters and benches create human-scaled details to further enhance the pedestrian-oriented nature of the overall project.
