The Elm
Owner/User: MBA Equities LTD
Location: Narberth, Pennsylvania
Design Statement: Positioned in the heart of downtown
Narberth and on the site of a former office building, this
52-unit residential product blends seamlessly with its
context. The project contains a mix of walk-up townhouses
and apartment units, with below grade parking and a lobby
positioned at the corner of two main streets.
As the building gets taller, the massing steps to create
generous balcony spaces that relate to the street and
surrounding town. The exterior materials respond to the
varying arts and craft and Victorian vernacular that is
prevalent in the area, while still appearing fresh and modern.
A 2,850 SF tenant amenity space on the first floor affords
residents the option to work or gather. The rear of the
building includes a roof-top terrace, with six units utilizing
the space for first floor terraces.
