Introduction
Kelly
Drive
flanks
the
southern
border
of
East
Falls,
creating
an
ideal
location
for
residents
and
visitors
alike.
Fairmount
Park
creates
a
natural
boundary,
along
with
major
transportation
and
commercial
arteries.
The
charming
neighborhood
is
bordered
by
Fairmount
Park
and
major
transportation
thoroughfares,
which
provide
an
easy
connection
to
the
surrounding
city.
These
features
instill
a
unique
sense
of
place,
but
also
hinder
outsiders’
awareness
and
familiarity
with
the
neighborhood.
East
Falls
is
a
hidden
gem.
With
the
development
of
The
Arbor
at
East
Falls,
Verde
Developers
aim
to
build
upon
and
compliment
the
surrounding
area,
creating
a
new
living,
dining
and
retail
option
adhering
to
the
LEED
Gold
standard
of
building.
Our
design
emphasis
is
focused
around
usable
spaces
that
serve
as
meeting
points,
destinations,
and
shared
workspaces,
where
residents
of
diverse
backgrounds
and
lifestyles
can
interact.
The
Arbor
at
East
Falls
will
cater
to
a
more
walkable
neighborhood
in
order
to
enrich
the
existing
businesses
and
residents
while
avoiding
any
displacement.
The
incorporation
of
sustainable
principles
guides
our
development
and
will
serve
as
an
eco-‐friendly
example
to
become
interwoven
into
the
fabric
of

Objectives
Verde
Developer’s
goal
is
to
provide
a
destination
that
both
compliments
the
surrounding
area
and
retain
its
own
identity
as
a
key
focal
point
in
the
neighborhood.
Through
a
labor-‐intensive
design
process
including
a
Charrette
with
the
East
Falls
community
our
team
has
achieved
just
that,
creating
a
mixed-‐use
residential/commercial
complex
that
is
both
efficient
and
aesthetically
pleasing
called
The
Arbor
at
East
Falls.
We
look
to
engage
and
engender
the
surrounding
communities
by
providing
a
welcoming
gateway
destination
between
East
Fall’s
parks,
residential,
and
commercial
districts.
We
strive
for
a
holistic
approach.
In
doing
so
we
focus
on
four
objectives:
● High
Quality
of
Life:
We
will
promote
a
livable,
accessible,
vibrant,
and
active
place
for
existing
and
new
residents
to
live,
work,
and
play
in
a
happy
healthy
way.
● Sense
of
Place:
Building
on
the
proximity
to
Fairmount
and
existing
neighborhood
assets,
we
will
reveal
a
hidden
unique
gathering
place
where
residents
and
visitors
can
safely
interact
● Integrated:
Integrating
the
pillars
of
sustainability,
the
development
of
The
Arbor
is
intended
to
promote
the
social,
economic,
and
environmental
sustainability
of
the
neighborhood.
The
Arbor
will
provide
spaces
and
places
for
new
and
existing
residents
to
work
and
gather,
while
providing
a
safe
space
for
visitors
to
interact
with
the
neighborhood
and
support
locally
owned
businesses.
● Equity:
We
plan
to
ensure
that
all
people
have
the
opportunity
to
live
at
The
Arbor
and
affordable
options
will
be
offered.
We
will
strive
for
the
best
design
standards
that
measure
economic,
environmental
and
social
equity
benefits.

Project
Overview
The
Arbor
at
East
Falls
will
be
comprised
of
four
mixed-‐use
four
story
buildings
totaling
115,000
square
feet
of
residential
and
retail
space.
The
LEED
Gold
complex
will
consist
of
100
rental
units
that
include
both
market
rate
and
affordable
rate
units.
The
development
will
be
comprised
of
four
separate
buildings
that
will
be
named
accordingly
to
the
Arbor
theme:
Maple,
Oak,
Birch,
and
Willow.
The
Maple
building
will
hold
the
Affordable
Rate
units.
It
will
be
comprised
of
25
studio,
one,
and
two
bedroom
units
on
three
floors.
The
street
level
will
offer
retail
opportunities,
community
development,
as
well
as
educational
and
assistance
organization.
A
designated
location
will
be
shared
and
available
for
community
meeting
space,
or
as
a
price
controlled
rental
space
for
organizations
to
hold
conferences,
informational
sessions,
or
courses
on
topics
such
as
energy
efficiency.
Oak,
Birch
and
Willow
with
consist
of
market
rate
apartments
on
three
floors.
Each
building
will
offer
studio,
one,
and
two
bedroom
units.
The
ground
floor
of
all
the
market
rate
buildings
will
be
occupied
by
local
East
Falls/Philadelphia
businesses.
With
over
20,000
square
feet
of
retail
space
available
in
the
three
market
rate
buildings,
and
a
readymade
customer
base
within
housing
on
upper
floors,
local
entrepreneurs
will
clearly
see
the
benefits
in
establishing
new
cafes,
bistros,
clothing
boutiques,
and
other
service
related
businesses.
The
mixed-‐used
development
will
promote
jobs
in
the
area
and
help
East
Falls
boost
its
commerce.
Community
space
will
be
in
three
designated
areas:
a
dog
park,
community
garden,
and
courtyard.
These
areas
will
not
only
provide
needed
amenities
for
resident
families,
but
also
serve
as
locations
residents
can
utilize
to
commune
and
connect.
We
designed
these
areas
to
be
able
to
serve
both
the
market
rate
and
affordable
units
in
order
to
nourish
an
integrated
community
thus
increasing
the
social
equity
of
East
Falls.

will
commit
to
using
100%
eco-‐
friendly
materials
indoors

Sustainability
Objectives:
Energy
Efficiency
The
project
will
be
net
zero

This
goal
will
be
achieved
by
passive
strategies
such
as
building
orientation,
facade
shading,
green
roofs,
efficiency
glass,
and
envelope.
The
active
system
that
will
be
used
in
the
project
will
be:
Solar
energy
as
PV
arrays
for
electricity
and
solar
water
heat
installation
Lighting
Efficiency
The
lighting
system
in
the
building
will
be
designed
to
guide
the
user
to
save
energy.
Locating
in
strategic
locations
will
avoid
the
use
of
lighting.
All
fixtures
will
be
LED
which
will
save
on
the
energy.
Occupancy
sensors
will
be
installed
in
electric
rooms,
mechanical
rooms,
and
storage
areas.
Daylight
sensor
use
in
commercial
areas
will
avoid
the
use
of
lighting
during
the
day.
The
installation
of
shelves
on
the
facade
will
allow
light
to
reflect
inside
the

Indoor
Environmental
Quality
The
main
goal
of
the
interior
design
will
keep
with
the
users’
satisfaction
and
will
primarily
be
achieved
through
climate
control.
One
strategy
will
provide
all
rooms
with
operable
windows
so
the
user
can
adjust
interior
temperature.
The
HVAC
system
will
be
installed
on
the
floor
allowing
the
air
to
be
exhausted
as
the
warm
air
elevates,
thus
creating
a
microclimate.
The
interior
will
seek
to
fulfill
biophillic
concepts
by
bringing
nature
into
the
interior
of
the
building.
Water
Efficiency
We
will
attempt
net
zero
water
usage,
while
complying
with
the
Philadelphia
water
treatment
laws.
Low
flow
fixtures,
gray
water
from
sinks
and
showers
will
save
on
water
usage.
Rainwater
collection
from
non-‐pervious
surfaces
will
avoid
rain
water
runoff
and
will
be
used
for

Materials
Local
materials
will
be
used
as
much
as
possible
in
an
attempt
to
support
the
local
economy
and
avoid
energy
wasted
on

Our
intent
is
to
connect
with
the
Wissahickon
Station
by
creating
a
new
transit
oriented
development
along
with
other
sustainable
investments.
We
plan
to
protect,
enhance,
and
promote
the
East
Falls
neighborhood
and
it’s
surrounding
areas.
Accessibility

The
design
will
meet
all
ADA
requirements
ensuring
equitable
access
for
all
building
occupants
and
visitors.
All
systems
requiring
routine

and
maintenance.
Security
Requirements
In
order
to
protect
the
safety
of
the
residents,
a
security
system
with
24/7
surveillance
will
be
enabled.
In
addition
to
the
security
system,
gates
at
both
entries
(Calumet
Ridge-‐
Ridge
&
Merrick)
will
have
attended
security
personnel
to
guarantee
safety.
Aesthetics
Requirements
To
keep
with
the
neighborhood
character,
brick
façade
will
be
used
along
with
other
sustainable
materials.
All
commercial
interior

Verde
Developers
will
comply
with
all
C2
Philadelphia
zoning
codes
that
pertain
to
the
site.
In
addition
to
Philadelphia
codes,
East
Falls
has
an
Overlay
that
aims
to
guide
development,
provide
continuity
for
businesses,
and
maintain
the
community
aesthetic.
These
guidelines
entail
regulations
on
height,
facades,
parking,
and
lighting.
A
variance
for
a
height
increase
from
35
feet
to
45
feet
will
be
issued
from
the
zoning
board.
We
will
comply
with
all
the
requirements
regarding
lighting
and
façade.
The
parking
falls
within
the
by-‐right
uses
and
we
will
comply
with
all
regulations.
To
reduce
traffic
congestion,
a
new
traffic
lane
at
Ridge
Ave
&
Calumet
Street
will
be
constructed
to
widen
the
street.
Our
landscaped
design
will
address
the
Kelly
Drive,
which
mandates
a
berm
to
be
constructed
for
site
protection
from
flooding
and
erosion.
In
addition
to
our
landscaped
area
at
Kelly
Drive
and
Calumet
St,
we
will
have
an
art
installation
at
the
entrance.
Our
goal
is
to
enhance
the
development
standards
in
which
the
East
Falls
Development
Corporation
seeks
to
address
within
its
Overlay.

Proposal
The
design
proposed
for
the
new
apartment
complex
at
the
previous
Rivage
site
will
be
environmentally
oriented,
embracing
the
three
branches
of
Sustainability:
Planet,
People
and
Profit.
The
Arbor
at
East
Falls
will
be
more
efficient
by
saving
energy,
water,
and
using
non-‐harmful
materials.
It
will
include
the
neighborhood
to
create
a
community
friendly
meeting
space,
and
it
will
be
economically
affordable
for
both
the
developer
and
the
end
user
(utility
bills).
Four
separate
form
the
complex
with
an
interior
courtyard
for
public
use.
The
courtyard
will
serve
as
an
area
for
ground
floor
commercial
use
as
well.
The
separation
between
buildings
will
allow
people
to
walk
through
the
complex,
shortening
the
distances
created
by
mega
block
cities
like
Philadelphia.
The
south
part
of
the
complex
will
respond
to
its
natural
surroundings
with
a
vegetated
berm
and
a
rain
garden
on
the
lowest
area
of
the
site,
these
strategies
will
serve
not
only
for
aesthetical
purposes
but
will
help
with
storm
water
retention
and
flooding
problems.

Coffee

using
the
required

Market
Analysis
Demographics
East
Falls
residents
are
proud
of
their
community
and
want
to
enjoy
all
the
perks
that
come
with
living
close
to
Center
City.
The
East
Falls
Master
Plan
is
designed
for
the
current
and
future
residents
to
promote
sustainable
growth
within
the
entire
East
Falls
area.
As
a
result,
the
following
demographic
profile
is
for
East
Falls
area
as
a
whole.
The
entire
East
Falls
neighborhood
is
1.45
square
miles
with
a
population
of
14,493.
The
median
age
of
the
population
is
31
years.
Within
the
past
decade,
East
Falls
has
seen
an
increase
in
residents
between
the
ages
of
18
–
34,
making
it
a
growing
center
for
younger
professionals.
Currently,
40%
of
its
residents
fall
between
these
ages
(eastfallsdevelopment.org).
For
many
of
East
Falls
residents
the
median
household
income
is
almost
double
for
that
of
Philadelphia
($53,228
vs.
$30,746).
East
Falls
is
centrally
located
between
Center
City
and
the
suburbs,
making
the
neighborhood
attractive
to
working
families.
East
Falls
median
income
is
over
75,000
and
many
of
the
residents
have
a
college
degree
or
higher
(eastfallsdevelopment.org).

Rental
Market
The

of

reveals
a
strong
residential
rental
market.

are
up
compared
to
Philadelphia
County.
Even
more
promising
results
have
been
seen
in
the
average

period
for
a

Overall,
the
market
is
prime
for
investment
and
development,
and
investors
can
feel
secure
in
knowing
the
market
has
been
consistent

Sustainability
The
apartment
complex
will
be
designed
around
sustainable
strategies,
some
of
the
passive
applications
responding
to
the
local
climate
and
other
active
devices,
such
as
solar
PV
arrays,
to
help
the
residences
be
environmentally
aware.
To
fully
achieve
sustainability
the
building
will
be
LEED
Gold
certified,
which
will
decrease
energy,
water
usage,
and
waste.
LEED
certification
will
increase
the
market
value
of
the
property;
users
nowadays
seek
for
this
type
of
credentials
in
buildings
and
studies
show
that
LEED
certified
buildings
are
occupied
up
to
98%.
These
sustainability
strategies
will
be
implemented:
