SORA West

Conshohocken, Pennsylvania
by Keziah Olsen, LASN

The redevelopment of an entire city block, totaling four acres, features a LEED Silver 11-story office building with ground floor retail, a boutique hotel, parking structure, and the restored historic Conshohocken Firehouse, which has been reimagined as both restaurant and an entrance to the hotel.

The Commercial & Retail Development Issue of Landscape Architect and Specifier News saw many firms submit their projects for feature consideration. SORA West is one of several great projects we are excited to showcase on LandscapeArchitect.com.

SORA West is a multi-faceted project in downtown Conshohocken, PA. The project is at once a new build, redevelopment, and restoration project in an urban setting that, as a collective vision, was initiated by community leadership and local government. Partnering with a local developer, the focus was not only to create a cutting-edge mixed-use development, but to reestablish the town center and foster community growth, gathering, and connection through placemaking. Strategically situated amid a public transportation network, this project has become a primary gateway into the city and a destination for workers and the public at large.

The project was recognized with a 2024 Honor Award in General Design from the Pennsylvania-Delaware chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects.
