In 1926, famous French architect Louis Jallade was commissioned to design a twin-tower hotel at the corner of 15th and Arch streets. The resulting masterwork is the Metropolitan. Today, the Metropolitan is a beautifully adapted, 26-story residential tower with a host of contemporary amenities including a new lobby, state-of-the-art fitness center and all-new designer kitchens with stainless steel appliances. A stunning luxury residence, the Metropolitan continues to rise above the rest.
