About The Metropolitan

Rich with character and architectural details, the Metropolitan offers luxury apartments filled with contemporary finishes.

Original limestone details and the iconic 1920's Metropolitan sign on the exterior are matched inside with a spacious new lobby, a sleek rooftop terrace, a state-of-the-art gymnasium and art deco basketball court and a brand new resident lounge. With impressive views and a minute's walk to the shops and businesses of downtown Philadelphia, the Metropolitan apartments are made for city dwellers.
