About the Project

The renovation of the historic Umbrella Factory in Philadelphia’s East Kensington neighborhood transforms the former industrial building into a mixed-use residential community featuring 181 market-rate apartments above ground-floor retail. A rooftop terrace and pool introduce contemporary amenities while taking advantage of panoramic views of the Philadelphia skyline. The restoration also includes historically appropriate replacement windows, including aluminum single-hung units and expansive steel warehouse-style windows that preserve the building’s industrial character.
