PORTFOLIO > PIAZZA POD PARK
This once dusty parking lot has become the destination for dining and recreation in the Northern Liberties neighborhood in Philadelphia, PA.
16 customized BoxPop® shipping containers were outfitted with generators, functional kitchens, air conditioning, and other amenities. The Piazza Pod Park features open-air dining, shopping, art installations, fitness activities, and family play areas.
“Britten worked tirelessly to suit our shipping container fit-out needs for the centerpiece of Piazza Pod Park, a project novel to Philadelphia. We were in constant communication for months as the shipping containers were being outfitted as kitchens, bars, and other shops in Britten’s facilities,” said Hayley Schneider, an associate at Post Brothers.
The BoxPop® containers arrived in generally turnkey condition, with kitchen equipment, lighting, awnings, insulation, HVAC, and wooden floors. That made it easy for vendors to visualize the space, which resulted in the pods leasing at an extremely fast pace. - Hayley Schneider, Acquisitions Associate at Piazza Pod Park
