Set on a picturesque street, 1706 offers its residents easy access to the cultural heartbeat of Philadelphia.Wausau Window and Wall Systems’ windows and doors frame these urban views and welcome the natural light and fresh air into the 31 homes within this building. Wausau’s presence in the neighborhood also includes windows and doors provided at 10 Rittenhouse Square, 1820 Rittenhouse Square and the Curtis Institute of Music.
The $140 million project represents a shared vision between Cope Linder Architects, Scannapieco Development Corporation and Joe Zuriksky, whose family owned the parking lot on which 1706 is built. This resulting 31-story, Modern design structure features 4,200-square-foot full-floor residences.
Contributing to the project’s durability and cohesive aesthetics, Linetec finished the windows’ and doors’ 4.5-inch-deep aluminum frames in a three-coat 70 percent PVDF resin-based coating. A custom Pewter color was used. The screens were painted to match.
The high-profile residence immediately drew the spotlight when it opened in 2010 and continues to attract attention, as 1706 Rittenhouse remains a prestigious address today. “Many buyers have stated that were it not for 1706, they would not have decided to move into the city,” said Paula Celletti-Baron, vice president of sales and marketing for the property. Amongst its accolades, the Urban Land Institute recognized the property in 2011 as one of the Top 20 Buildings in North & South America.
