I have to think as these new buildings come on line, we'll finally see a retail revolution on 2nd Street in Northern Liberties. Between this and all of the new multi-family development in South Kensington, there's simply too many people and too much income for retailers to ignore.
Having Post Brothers at the helm instead of Blatstein alone I would think guarantees this.
A lot of Philly people in restaurants and retail avoid (committing to) Blatstein projects because they can't stand the guy. In a way, this has contributed to Northern Liberties being held back to some extent...that Blatstein was the main landlord for so long.
