Guests at the November 13 launch party for the MetroClub Condominiums in Philadelphia’s Center City district experienced the upscale lifestyle offerings of this modern, stylish building—and then some.

Located next to Franklin Square Park, an area laid out in William Penn’s original architectural plan, the 130-unit structure has a unique shape enclosed in striking rose-colored glass. “Now with the revitalization of this area, this building will help return the region to its original grandeur,” says Marc Palermo, vice president of residential sales for IMI.

More than 300 people gathered at the party, which by day’s end accounted for 115 contracts signed, totaling more than $46 million in sales. Among those purchasing were members of the Philadelphia Eagles and 76ers sports teams, as well as the son of a well-known musician.

Under the ambiance of a 6,000-square-foot tent, the party’s hosts served guests a fabulous breakfast and lunch buffet, and a demonstration booth featured home electronics products by Bang & Olufsen, the high-end audio-video company and an IMI strategic partner.

The MetroClub project took a building that was originally constructed in 1971 down to its concrete core. A completely modernized lobby was then designed and built, featuring an upscale and contemporary motif, grounded by more traditional hardscape materials of granite, marble and hardwoods. Each condominium was built from the ground up, so to speak, with new plumbing and electrical service and smart-home wiring, and residents will enjoy high ceilings and expansive windows for outstanding views of the city and bridge. Further amenities include an outdoor heated pool, Jacuzzi, cabanas, picnic area, state-of-the-art fitness center, parking and concierge services.
