The VIP pre-sale event on March 2nd was held at the gorgeous Tedenza event space at the Piazza at Schmidt's in Northern Liberties. When we heard the party was going to be a "virtual tour," we have to admit we were a little upset. We were excited to prance around

Thanks to an anonymous tipster for these interior shots of 1200 Bank, the new pool hall and rooftop restaurant coming to 12th and Chestnut! We were also sent some photos of the projects that DAS Architects are using for inspiration for the rooftop bar and restaurant.
