THE BATTERY – REBIRTH OF A PHILADELPHIA LANDMARK
The monumental Delaware Station of the Philadelphia Electric Company was closed by Exelon in 2008, sold in 2015, and added to both the Philadelphia Register and National Register of Historic Places in 2016. As new ownership began interior demolition in 2019 to prepare the building for rehabilitation and new uses, MC became the structural EOR for the project and began consulting on the proposed exterior façade restoration, flood mitigation, modifications to existing structures, new interior structures, and vertical expansion. This presentation highlights MC’s involvement in the ongoing transformation of this iconic landmark into a new mixed-use facility including offices, apartments, athletic facilities, social and culinary spaces, special event venues, and a hotel, all with architecture maintaining and celebrating the historic nature of the building. The project was recently honored with a Grand Jury Award from the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia.
