Speaking of Suburban Square and Ardmore, do any development enthusiasts know if any broader redevelopment is planned for Anderson Avenue? Banana Republic and J Crew both recently closed: https://www.google.com/maps/place/61...!4d-75.2899672 I wonder if there is an overbuild or something else planned or this is just coincidence or evidence of the current retail environment.
Anyone been to Ocean City recently and seen the project going up at 719 10th Street? It’s pretty sizable, but I’ve been unable to find renderings of a finished product anywhere online.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t grab a picture, but you’ll have to take my word on it.

Not sure I'm crazy about units for sale next to hotel rentals considering they are side by side. At lease not for vacation rentals per se. It would be better if they devoted a section of the development for buyers only. Kind of like getting to know your neighbors instead on new renters every season or week.
New large mixed use development going up across from Dranoff's One Ardmore. It somehow got a lot less attention and drew a lot less controversy. It spans from Crickett Terrace to Crickett. The pics below that are of the new retail and office going up on Coulter and suburban square. While cast stone rather than limestone, it looks very good. Much better than the slop cladding we are seeing on most new construction in the City. It went up FAST too. I swear it was below grade a couple months ago.
You guys won't be getting a lot from me in the next year in the way of Arthaus and Laurel pics. But you could be seeing lots of pics of any Ardmore, Narberth, and Bala developments.
Yeah, that one is significant too. Haven't seen signs of any imminent development there. Not sure if it was approved or not, but I hope it was! Would love to continue to see big things from Ardmore. To me, it's a much more interesting node than KOP, both because of its closer proximity to the City and its superior walkability and real town feel. It's good to see more residential and other development in KOP too, and it's a good employment hub. But Ardmore has far better bones.
While the foot-dragging of service upgrades on SEPTA's Wilmington line have taken years off my life, upgrades like the one linked below, however incremental, will help the residential project in Wilmington's LoMa (and others Nomad9 shared) to do well and lead to more conversions / new construction:

Train station right in town is a huge selling point too, something KOP is lacking. I'll keep saying it until I no longer can, but every single town with a train station in the metro area should be striving to be more like Ardmore.

^ Agree, except some rail suburbs are nothing but a station with minimal parking surrounded by homes. Ardmore, as you've said, has "good bones" on which to build. It has something of a town center and Suburban Square was ahead of its time.
I'd further add that old railroad suburbs that've lost train service really need to band together to get it back too. The Ardmore/Ambler model is just too successful to ignore, anymore, and the majority of the region's town centers -- from Quakertown to Millville -- were built around the railroads.

Missed this one somehow. As the PBJ article today notes, there is a fuckton of development in Exton.

Developer Eyeing Great Valley Corporate Center For Renovations
Quote:
MALVERN, PA — The Great Valley Corporate Center could be getting a major face lift if a real estate development firm has its way.
San Francisco-based firm Gensler has a profile on its website's project section that discussed redeveloping the center.
Here's what the firm's page says:
To meet the area's changing needs, Gensler's vision in redeveloping this nondescript 1980s suburban office campus is that of a walkable and engaging mixed-use community encircling a vibrant central space. The proposed plan is to level nine existing buildings to create a 50-acre swath of developable land, followed by the construction of a mixed-use community totaling more than a million square feet. Included will be three high-end apartment buildings, a hotel, office space, retail and parking garages, along with extensive community space, both green and hard-scaped, accommodating year-round outdoor activities.
