500 Walnut St

500 Walnut is a boutique, full-service condominium completed in 2017 and located in Society Hill, Philadelphia. The building contains just 34 residences across multiple stacked floors including full-floor and multi-bedroom plate plans such as three- and six-bedroom layouts. Architect Cecil Baker’s conversion emphasizes large volumes and abundant glazing: units commonly feature 10-foot (or higher) ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, wide-plank hardwood floors, custom millwork, and private terraces with views over Independence National Historical Park. Interiors range from turnkey three-bedroom homes with Joanne Hudson–designed kitchens and high-end appliance packages to expansive, fully customized trophy floors with dedicated media, office, and service wings. Common areas and resident services are extensive and hotel-like: a 24-hour concierge/doorman, on-site chauffeur/town car, guest suite, boardroom and event space, and a landscaped 4,000 square-foot treetop terrace overlooking Independence Hall. Wellness and recreation amenities include a 50-foot lap pool, fitness center with steam/sauna and massage rooms, billiards and golf-simulator rooms, pet spa, and an entertainment lounge with outdoor fireplace. Practical features include a state-of-the-art automated parking system (with induction EV charging), private storage, elevator access, and in-unit laundry. The building’s address places it within easy walking distance of historic sites, restaurants, boutiques, and transportation nodes, offering a blend of contemporary luxury living amid Philadelphia’s colonial-era streetscapes.
