Live at Lotus in University City - Applications Open for 2026-2027 With Leases Starting August 03, 2026!
This penthouse is a 3 bed x 2 bath residence with a private Juliet balcony overflowing with natural light throughout. Inspired by Japandi living - combining organic materials and a natural palette (Japanese) with a modern, minimalist approach to design (Scandi). Features a grand penthouse entryway scissor staircase, skylights throughout the residence, an all-white gourmet kitchen, a textured earthy spa-like bathroom with a skylight shower (honestly one of the coolest bathrooms in uCity), and customizable ambient lighting with dimmer switches throughout!
Not the cheap, ultra-durable & low-grade furnishings you get at most nearby "luxury" apartment buildings nearby *cough cough Chestnut Street*. We really obsessed over every detail. Each residence at Lotus is the beautiful outcome of many sleepless nights (and 100% worth it).
Located in the heart of University City at the intersection of Powelton Avenue & 40th Street. We offer both furnished and non-furnished options, perfect for all - healthcare professionals, professors, scientists and graduate students who want to live in the heart of University City adjacent to UPenn, Drexel, HUP, CHOP and Penn Presbyterian!
At the same time, a portion of the profits from Lotus will fund a core vision of ours: a world where every single child & adult has access to safe, clean drinking water. Our charity partner - Evidence Action - installs, maintains & promotes the use of chlorine dispensers to purify water in rural areas throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Future Lotus Residents will carry on this mission as a portion of rents will continue to be dedicated to Evidence Action.
