The Newport
1530 Spruce Street | Philadelphia, PA 19102
In 1897, at nine stories, THE NEWPORT was one of Philadelphia’s earliest high-rises. Today, it is a boutique apartment building of 46 delightful units. The moderate size provides a more personal and inviting atmosphere than that of larger complexes, yet with all the amenities. THE NEWPORT is an historic building in the Rittenhouse-Fitler Historic District.
In May 2009 THE NEWPORT was presented with an Historic Achievement Award from The Preservation Alliance of Greater Philadelphia for excellence in the restoration of the property.

Management
THE NEWPORT is owner-managed. As owners, we are totally involved; we are much more interested in the operation of our properties than the typical broker or agent. The management and the staff of THE NEWPORT are professional and attentive to tenant concerns, which makes THE NEWPORT stand apart from many of the other Rittenhouse Square apartments for rent in Center City, Philadelphia.
Free Fitness Center
THE NEWPORT’S free Fitness Center is unusual in the respect that such well equipped centers are usually found only in much larger buildings when found at all. The equipment provided has been selected to provide for exercising the entire body. The cardio, and resistance-training equipment includes:
- Two ellipticals
- Two treadmills
- One recumbent bicycle
- One leg extension
- One leg curl
- One leg press
- One back-extension
- One cable crossover with adjustable pulleys
- One adjustable bench
The cable crossover is a very versatile and flexible machine. By itself it can be used to exercise most sections of the body. It is excellent for all upper body workouts.
The Fitness Center is open to residents 24/7.
