The Prestige List: Philly’s Top 11 Most Expensive Buildings (By the SqFt)

The trend is clear: Philadelphia real estate is no longer "discount" luxury. It's just luxury.

The Laurel (Rittenhouse Square): A newcomer that has dominated the $1.5M+ market since its inception. The top price per square foot is $2,068

500 Walnut (Penthouse): This building didn't just break records east of Broad; it shattered them, pushing the ceiling for Society Hill. Top $/Sq Ft. is $1,913

1706 Rittenhouse: The pioneer of the full-floor luxury concept in Philly. It still commands massive premiums for its privacy and "auto-concierge" system. Top $/Sq Ft is $1,752

Dilworth House: New construction on Washington Square proved that smaller, ultra-exclusive buildings could compete with the massive glass towers. Top $/Sq Ft. is $1700

2100 Hamilton: A dark horse that has seen incredible per-square-foot numbers due to its unique Art Museum views and massive terraces. High $/sq ft is $1,589

One Riverside: Proving that the "Fitler Square" vibe can command Rittenhouse prices, not only in value, but demand as well. The top $/Sq Ft sale price is $1,588

The Ritz Carlton (Penthouse): Still a staple of Center City luxury with one of the most recognizable brand names in the world. Top is $1,574

The Lanesborough (Penthouse): One-of-a-kind jewel without parking. High $/Sq Ft. is $1,561

Arthaus: Bringing a modern, glass-tower aesthetic to the Avenue of the Arts and consistently hitting top-tier square footage numbers. Not sold out, so expect new highs. Current high is $1,505

10 Rittenhouse: A classic Rittenhouse choice that remains a favorite for high-net-worth buyers who want traditional elegance. Top $/Sq Ft is $1,489

The Barclay: Proving that pre-war charm and history can still fetch modern-day luxury prices. Units do not include parking. Top $/Sq Ft is $1,393
