You didn't say which corner; if you mean the southeast corner with the WaWa, that would be the Dorchester.

The Dorchester is a very nice 60's era highrise condominium where some owners have apts. for rent. It has floor to ceiling windows, central air, doorman, roof top pool and posh address. However there are no lofts. just 8 foot ceilings and boxy rooms. Also half of the units have no view because it is jamed up against another highrise on the north side of the building. You will certainly get more for your money here than in a newer building.

Interesting!



I was looking out over the Dorchester pool at the trompe-l'oeil that is
adjacent to the where the photographer is standing! The building is
Korman Communities which is an excellent short term (or long term)
month by month lease. It also looks out over Rittenhouse Park.
The windows are looking our from Penthouse #3.

I always wondered what that pool looks like. I am glad to see that mine is bigger/nicer.
