yeah, this one's dead. Especially if PhillyLive goes ahead and develops further down in stadium area.

The high rises portion of the design was bitch-moaned by the locals, and the mall wasn't seen as anything great either-- I suppose they know the issues afflicting local urban malls a la Gallery, not to mention the increased traffic etc into "their neighborhood" and how the whole project is out of scale with its neighborhood.


Now this exact same design could perhaps fit well on 8th and Market... fill a hole there, add a little more variety to the retail in that part of town, and most importantly, add more residents there... it would likely have to be retail first and cater to Jeff students and others that aren't neceassarily well off and can afford the median condo prices of Center City. So that might change the complexion of the development if it were to move there and get built.


But that would be the best win=win situation for this Rimas... what a name... reminds me of Romulus vs Remus! lol As I recall, Remus didn't come out the winner in that one...

I don't see why they didn't propose this for 8th & Market from the beginning.

I don't think this project was ever serious enough to even qualify as being dead...

On the other hand, if it rises again, it's Jesus! (Or a zombie. Or Zombie Jesus.)
