Somi 1620
A 27-story mixed-use tower, Somi 1620 brings premium residential, retail, and event space to Center City, one of the densest urban neighborhoods in the country.
Adjacent to Philadelphia’s Liberty Tower, its design incorporates the modern glass of the central business district, while metal
panel and brick at the base provide a contemporary nod to the pre-war brick of neighboring Rittenhouse Square. Somi 1620 promotes a vibrant streetscape with 5,000-square-feet of ground floor commercial retail space and a 17,000-square-foot restaurant on the
second floor. The building is deliberately set back an additional five feet from the property line to widen the sidewalk along narrow, one-way Sansom Street to allow for outdoor dining and pedestrian engagement.
The 320-foot tower is chamfered to allow sunlight to reach Sansom Street and to orient views to downtown and the Schuylkill River. The tower offers 254 units, including multiple luxury penthouses with private terraces. Its glass façade meets the street at a double-height entry lobby, visually highlighting the residential entrance.
