The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton

The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton is a 48-story residential tower in Center City featuring glass-enclosed spaces with a rectangular base and an eastern crystal spire. The building houses 270 upscale condominiums throughout its vertical expanse.

Completed in 2009, this Handel Architects design marked an important shift in Philadelphia's real estate development. The tower introduced a new model for luxury residential living in the downtown area.

Girard Park, a public plaza at the base, creates a meeting point between the building and the surrounding neighborhood. This shared space brings together both residents and passersby in the heart of Center City.

The public plaza at the building's base is easily accessible on foot and welcomes visitors alongside residents. The location in Center City provides good connectivity to public transportation throughout Philadelphia.

The top level features a penthouse residence with soaring 25-foot (7.6 m) ceilings and a private rooftop courtyard. This exclusive space commands expansive views across Philadelphia's skyline and neighborhoods.
