phia hotel and 460 rooms in the Element Philadelphia hotel as well as an outdoor terrace, out- door pool, restaurant, banquet facilities, meeting rooms and retail space. “The building will be 52 sto- ries when it’s completed and is the result of one of the largest concrete pours in the City’s his- tory,” said Robert Naughton , Tri-State regional manager of the NRCC. “One of the major obstacles for this project is the location of the building, which is positioned on one of the busi- est intersections in the City.” Carney Construction , the project’s concrete subcontrac- tor, used approximately 600 trucks to deliver the concrete and installed 620 tons of rebar.
Additionally, 5,850 cubic yards (or a half-acre of eight-foot-deep concrete) were allocated for the building in May 2015. The gen- eral contractor on the project is Tutor Perini Corporation.

An interior plaza with a fountain will be open to the public dur- ing the day. “We have worked hard to design a project of incredible quality – one that celebrates the past while serving to anchor the future of this com- munity,” noted Prism’s Edwin Cohen, principal partner. “It is gratifying to see it coming to life.” Prism secured full approv- als this fall for the project’s Phase II, which will incorpo- rate 230 for-sale townhouses. During Phase II construction, poised to begin during Phase I leasing, the Township’s DPW building will be relocated, and Prism will extend Standish Ave. through the townhome site in order to improve traffic flow for the surrounding com- munity.
