Jonathan Stavin, the Executive Vice President for PMC Property Group, also gave a presentation on PMC's plans for the Marketplace Design Center property at 2400 Market St.

PMC is planning a million square foot development for the site (yes, the whale mural is going away), about equivalent in space to 2 Liberty Place.

Likening the west Market St. corridor, and 2400 Market in particular, to a "hole in the donut" of a revitalizing Center City and University City, Stavin announced PMC's plans for 300 apartments, a 150-key hotel, 200,000 square feet of office space, 120,000 square feet of design center (already there, but being relocated and compressed onto two floors), an unspecified number of parking spaces, and first floor retail promenade akin to what Paul Levy and CCD proposed back in 2007.

Stavin explained that the railroad presents a challenge for the immediate area right behind Schuylkill River Park, so PMC thinks the right place for retail is up at the street level. They feel there are enough connections to get people down to the river, but "crossing between Market and Chestnut continues to be a challenge."

Gensler is in charge of conceptualizing the building. Currently they're envisioning Market St. as the entrance for the office tenants. The office floors will start on the 4th floor of the existing building - a 60,000 square foot footprint - and will house "a new tenant to the Philadelphia marketplace with an exciting concept already working in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles."

Then they'll construct a 5th and 6th floor of office space targeting a slightly lower price point to market to newer businesses. Floors seven through nineteen will house the 300 apartments.
