The Alexander

The Alexander is a mixed-use high-rise in Philadelphia. The building is adjacent to the Philadelphia Pennsylvania Temple, which was designed by Perkins+Will. This project consists of one tower, as well as a Mormon meetinghouse next to the building, which will be clad in red brick.

Usage
The tower is approximately 375 feet in height. The tower contains roughly 264 apartments, as well as retail and townhouses around the base. The project includes a garden space and improved traffic flow on Wood Street. ==History==
History
The site was originally to host a building unrelated to the temple complex, but that project was cancelled when funding could not be obtained. In July 2014, the project was approved by the Civic Design Review. ==Criticism==
Criticism
In February 2014, Inga Saffron, the architecture critic for The Philadelphia Inquirer praised the development for its "urbanism" but condemned the mismatched styles of the temple, meetinghouse, and apartment tower. ==See also==
