The Ellington

1500 Chestnut St. Philadelphia, PA 19102

These wonderful Philadelphia Condominiums have soaring 10-foot ceilings and oversized yet energy-efficient, fully operational windows. Most of the condos at The Ellington have spectacular city views. Ample storage and closet space in every unit at 1500 Chestnut Street. The building offers a state-of-the-art fitness center and spa, as well as a 24-hour concierge and maintenance. We like the Ellington because it offers a wonderfully urban setting, in the Rittenhouse Square area, and has become very popular with those looking for a modern, newly constructed high rise condominium in Rittenhouse Square area with lovely finishes.

Now here is one well-managed building in an area that is exploding in terms of development and change. Perfectly situated near Jefferson Medical, Hahnemann, and U of Penn. The size of the units (no studios) is perfect for the market. East-facing condos offer limited views, but the fit and finish are strong for the price segment in which the building targets. All penthouse units on the 20th floor are bi-level. I have often said that the Ellington condos at 1500 Chestnut St. have the shortest “DOM” (days on the market) numbers in the City...and I believe that to be true. The units, especially in the spring market, fly off the shelves when listed. The condo building has a smallish gym and meeting/board room for owners and The Ellington is pet friendly. Common areas are kept in top-notch condition and very well maintained. Front desk staff is always friendly, which isn’t always the case here in many Center City condo buildings like The Ellington.
