From former lifelong New Yorkers and suburb dwellers to retirees and young professionals, residents of The Laurel cherish a sophisticated oasis of city living. More than 60% of owners are in residence, drawn by the premier Rittenhouse Square location, mesmerized by the skyline views, and delighted by staff eager to take care of everything in this slender glass tower in the heart of Philadelphia.
Luxury with a View
Designed by the internationally renowned Solomon Cordwell Buenz, 48 stories soar to the pinnacle of the city skyline in a strikingly modern architectural statement. Interiors feature 10- to 12-foot ceilings, wraparound glass windows, and panoramic city views. “You just cannot imagine the sunsets from our windows,” exudes Martin, who lives at The Laurel with his wife. “And, by the way, the sunrises are spectacular.”
Walkable Lifestyle
On Philadelphia’s coveted square, The Laurel boasts an incomparably walkable location. “It reminds me a little bit of a mini-Manhattan,” says Nancy, a resident who moved from New York. “It has everything, but it’s all very doable.” Restaurants and shops, art events, theater venues, and a farmer’s market invite enjoyment in and around this scenic greenspace of beauty and culture that is Rittenhouse Square. Welcoming Philadelphia’s first Equinox and the highly anticipated Michael Schulson restaurant on the street level, The Laurel has elevated fitness and dining at its feet.
Effortless Livability
A stunning array of amenities grace the 26th floor of The Laurel. Residents enjoy the Sky Lounge and terrace for neighborly cocktail gatherings and catered birthday, engagement and holiday parties. The rarity of an indoor and outdoor pool in the city is often a favorite for the grandkids who love to visit here. A spa and fitness center with yoga and Pilates enhance wellness at home. The golf simulator is popular among golfers to enjoy playing any course in the world, and the Dog Spa, complete with treats, is an appreciated convenience for dog parents who live at The Laurel.
Staff, including a valet, concierge and doorman accommodate every need from securing reservations to package delivery to home maintenance for an effortless experience while in-residence or away. “The staff service is impeccable,” says John, a resident who also has a home on the West Coast. “We feel totally spoiled.”
When asked why they love living at The Laurel, residents say the elegant luxury, the vibrancy, the service, and the sense of community. Most of all, they say, because no matter where they are from, The Laurel feels like home.
