777 South Broad in the news

I wanted to share with everyone the most recent news on 777 South Broad.

On Sunday, October 4th, Philadelphia Inquirer Real Estate Writer Alan J. Heavens published a feature story on 777 South Broad. He highlighted the building’s world class amenities, neighborhood location “seven minutes from everywhere” and unique luxurious loft style.

Stay tuned, I'm sure we'll see 777 South Broad in the news again!

About this Blog

This fall, undergraduate interior design students at Drexel University are embarking on a term-long challenge to design the ultimate green living space for the hospitality suite at Dranoff Properties’ LEED-registered 777 South Broad.This Blog is designed to help students share their experience designing the ultimate green living space.

Throughout the class, professionals in the field of green building, construction, interior design and project management will serve as a panel of advisors. Advisors will guide site tours, provide site plans and renderings, offer professional design consultation, and provide vendor contacts. At the end of the semester, students will present their plans to the jury. Submissions will be judged for suitability of design to the project challenge, originality of design solution, and successful integration of interior finishes and furnishings. Winners will be announced in December. Students will receive class credit and a grade for their participation.
