224 W Rittenhouse Sq

The Dorchester is a 32-story condominium tower on Rittenhouse Square in Center City Philadelphia, completed in 1970. Its apartment mix ranges from studios and junior one-bedrooms to one- and two-bedroom plans, many with corner exposures, private balconies, and parquet or wood floors. Interiors commonly feature open layouts, eat-in or galley kitchens, built-in storage, walk-in closets, in-unit laundry in some units, and upgraded baths with tiled showers. The building offers a staffed lobby with a 24-hour doorman, elevator access, on-site maintenance, and optional resident conveniences such as an underground garage with valet parking and a seasonal rooftop pool club. Shared amenities include a fitness center, roof deck/pool area, and common social spaces; utilities (heat, electricity, water/sewer and basic cable in many units) are generally included in the condo fee, while pool and parking carry additional fees. Exterior touches reflect an urban streetscape with awnings, sidewalks and street lighting immediately adjacent to Rittenhouse Square. Pet restrictions apply in current condo governance. The Dorchester’s address places residents steps from restaurants, retail, cultural venues, public transit, and nearby university and hospital campuses, supporting a pedestrian-focused, amenity-rich urban lifestyle.
