Society Hill Towers, Modern condominium towers in Society Hill, Philadelphia, US.

The Society Hill Towers complex consists of three 32-story buildings with floor-to-ceiling windows constructed from cast-in-place concrete in Philadelphia's historic district.

Architect I. M. Pei designed these residential towers in 1964 as part of an urban renewal project that transformed the Society Hill neighborhood.

The concrete structures represent brutalist architecture principles through their geometric forms and raw materials, contrasting with surrounding colonial buildings.

The residential complex contains 624 units and features nine elevators distributed across three towers, providing vertical transportation for residents.

The buildings received the American Institute of Architects' Institute Honor Award and Progressive Architecture Award for Design in 1961.
