A 13-story condo building on Walnut Street requires the demolition of much of a historic 19th-century townhome. It's up to the Historical Commission to decide whether the project can move forward.
A 13-story condominium building is being proposed behind the facade of a four-story brownstone at 2112 Walnut Street, the latest effort from developer and architect Tim Shaaban.
The property lies within the Rittenhouse-Fitler historic district, which includes much of these Center City neighborhoods, so developer Tim Shaaban needs the permission of the Historical Commission to move forward with his plan. But commission staff argued against the project in preparatory materials, saying that it would ruin the integrity of the historic building.
