Market Flats

Location: Old City, Philadelphia, PA

Client: Onion Flats

Completion Date: 1999

Project Type: Multi-Family

Market Flats is in the heart of the oldest and most historic district of Philadelphia, commonly referred to as Old City. It’s five-story, historically certified, red brick building, facing north and was constructed in ca. 1880. Our interventions in the building were minimal and inexpensive. The ground floor maintains a commercial space indicative of Market Street and each of the four floors above were renovated into a 1400 sf. loft. A large open grate steel deck was constructed on the rear of the building in order to provide a second means of egress and exterior open space for each unit.
