Piazza Alta & Germantown Woonerf

A New Standard for City Living

The newest addition to The Piazza, Alta is a collection of residences thoughtfully designed to set a new standard for city living. In its premier Northern Liberties location, the development includes modern features and exceptional amenities. Much like the unconventional collage of angled streets and irregular lots that have shaped Northern Liberties for centuries, Alta pulled inspiration from the neighborhood into its unique architecture and design. Omnes’ landscape concept is built on a narrative of the site recalling the long-buried Chosink Creek, establishing a riverine pattern of paving that weaves through the many many connected plazas, walkways, and woonerf along Germantown Avenue.

The Piazza’s core pillar is its unique and thoughtfully planned public spaces provided to the neighborhood by the developer. These spaces connect residents of the development and Northern Liberties alike by offering a unique variety of areas to socialize, come together and embrace the community. The plaza spaces include vibrant open air walking paths connecting the apartments, courtyards, retail shops and restaurants for ultimate convenience. Outdoor play spaces include dedicated equipment for both children and adults to enjoy.

Currently seeking LEED Neighborhood Development certification, Piazza Alta would be a pioneer in Northern Liberties for earning this distinction. Throughout development, the property has recycled 89.4% of construction waste, diverting 3,750 tons of waste from landfills. A sophisticated stormwater management system, using a 520,800-gallon underground water basin, and 38,000 square foot shared rooftop terrace help capture nearly 97% of rainfall and reduce water runoff into the sewer system.
