I like this building. It's great big city infill for the location.

Callowhill and nearby areas will look totally unrecognizable in 5-10 years. There's about 7 massive projects under construction or recently completed. Also the Target, Yards, SoNo (cringy name I know). It's about time considering it's proximity to Center City. Finish the rail park, open up the 11th and Ridge BSL stop, clean up the trash and boom...watch the businesses/people come in. No NIMBYs here like Old City or Chinatown to stifle bars/restaurants/clubs/apartments.

The transformation from good to crap has almost fully been executed. The great mix of bars and restaurants has been transformed to hookah places and more fast food. I'm having a hard time seeing the path forward. It seems like no one wants to put money into Old City right now. Unless it's residential. And even that seems to white wash the historical vibe of OC, one building at a time. Nolibs & FT are soooo much cooler now than Old City, IMO. |

Once you get up north of Arch it gets really nice again. Shame they can't seem to get that all cleaned up. I've been meaning to get over to check the vibes on 1st Friday but it's been a tough sell with the kids. |

I think the problem is that the residents of OC aren't enough (or are the wrong demographic) to sustain a restaurant/bar district. People don't go out during the week and weekends can be a $hit-show. And the way it is now, there aren't a ton of people in town saying "hey, lets go to Old City!" Unless you want coffee or a wedding dress. Covid took a MASSIVE toll, causing many neighborhood anchors to leave. They filled in with crap that pushes the decision to invest in the area into the "nope" column. Even Stephen Starr bailed. And his HQ is right above the OG Continental, which has sat vacant for years now. At the moment, the front step is home to a rotation of homeless people ranging from passed out to straight up hostile. Like I said, I don't see a path forward. More and more anchors will leave and be replaced with Hookah joints. |
I love this project.
kinda not liking the address on top |

Maybe, just maybe the I95 Cap can help reinvigorate it? I do think there's a big difference north of Arch and South of Market on 2nd. They've definitely added housing on the northern half of OC. Maybe that'll help drive some commercial into soon-to-be-formerly-known-as-No-Mans-Land between Callowhill and SG. But I do agree with you, OC has kinda stood still (NIMBYS!) while capital went essentially everywhere else in the city. |
