RITTENHOUSE SQUARE & CENTER CITY WEST
Limestone townhouses, pre-war apartments, and Philadelphia's most refined residential core
HIGH-END RENOVATIONS IN RITTENHOUSE SQUARE & CENTER CITY WEST
Rittenhouse Square and Center City West are Philadelphia's most refined residential core, where the housing stock runs from limestone and brownstone townhouses on the side streets to pre-war apartment buildings and luxury condominiums overlooking the square. Renovating here demands exceptional precision, tight logistical controls, and respect for neighbor relations and building management rules. Eliteco Builders delivers refined craftsmanship for Rittenhouse homeowners, condo owners, and investors.
Historical Structure & Materials
Rittenhouse townhouses showcase limestone and brownstone facades with ornate plasterwork, solid masonry walls, and historic pine or oak flooring. The pre-war apartments have high ceilings, original moldings, and solid layouts that reward a careful gut. Condo and co-op boards require certificates of insurance, restricted work hours, elevator bookings, and complete dust and hallway protection.
