Situated on the Avenue of the Arts in downtown Center City, Griffin's origins trace back over a century ago to 1897, when it was built in the Beaux-Arts style of the era. Now reemerging as a refined apartment collection, Griffin's cultured essence and visionary design are overtly informed by its artful past.
Griffin is located within easy walking distance of multiple rail lines and stylish shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues. With features that epitomize luxe living and an enviable amenity lineup from a rooftop clubroom to a 24/7 fitness facility, Griffin has all the makings of a masterpiece.
