Common Space. Uncommon Experience.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Situation

Philadelphia property developers, Post Brothers, wanted to transform a dusty, 35,000-square-foot Northern Liberties parking lot into a beautiful, mixed-use community destination with inventive spaces for open-air dining, shopping, entertainment, art installations, fitness activities, and family play areas.

Solution

Boxpop™ customized and delivered 16 unique shipping containers in a rainbow of colors fewer than eight months after concepting. Each cargo container was fully outfitted with generators, functional kitchens, bars, air conditioning, and other amenities specific to the needs of the top small business and restaurants involved in the project.

Impact

“The piazza is the very heart and soul of this ever-evolving neighborhood that continues to grow and expand at record pace,” Post Brothers said in a release. “Britten and BoxPop™ worked tirelessly to suit our shipping container fit-out needs.”
