There is a big banner hanging from One Franklin Tower announcing leasing is underway. I decided to look for their website. See below:

Love seeing all of the activity in Old City... it's about time all of these projects got moving.
Now we just need to fill in that small parking lot at the corner of 2nd and Elfreth's Alley. Maybe a 4 story building with the ground floor being a small Welcome Center and Museum for the history of Elfreth's Alley?...the top 3 floors could then be residential. Why? The city should look into acquiring the lot and commissioning this. |

Reprieve on the table for Society Hill Acme, as neighbors, developer wrangle
Mixed-use development no more at the Society Hill Acme site? Maybe they can expand the grocery store, take out the surface parking lot, and add a level or two of garage parking on top of the store. Very disappointing we won't be seeing a mixed-use building here though. Looks like developer is looking to add a one floor addition to the retail building with Wine & Spirits as the tenant across the street too.

Stamm Development
They're doing a lot of nice work in Francisville, Brewerytown and Mt. Airy. Nice to see. They remind me of Astoban. http://stammdevelopment.com/developm...le-properties/ |
The Beury Project - Reinvest and Reinvigorate
http://beurybuilding.com/wp-content/...bout-photo.jpg Phase 1: The Beury Beacon THE BEURY BEACON will be the heart of redevelopment of the 3700 block of Broad Street. In conjunction with our partners, The Bethesda Project, PHMC and ROC United, the building will be repurposed to become a Beacon of hope for the community. The project will consist of 62 one-bedroom units and 30,000 square feet of community wellness - including an engagement center for the chronically homeless and a Federally Qualified Health Center that will provide a health clinic, financial services and educational support to the community. THE RESIDENTIAL SPACE will be located on floors five through eleven. Each apartment will be a one-bedroom, with a kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom, and closets. The average size of each apartment will be 624 square feet. A community room, lounges, and laundry will be located throughout the residential section of the building. The Beury Building will be apartments will be set aside as apartments for those eligible by the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency and the city of Philadelphia. Some apartments will be preferentially leased to people with physical disabilities and will be fully accessible for wheelchair users, as well as formerly homeless referred by the Bethesda Project, our housing and development partner. THE COMMERCIAL PORTION of the Beury Building will encompass floors one through four and will be dedicated to nonprofit and service sector organizations delivering integrated services to both the residents and the community. With this holistic approach to housing, the Beury will be home to a critical mass of nonprofit organizations devoted to community health. In time, the building will seek to be a health and innovation center for North Philadelphia. Phase 2: The Annex The extension of the Beury building will consist of approximately 10,000 sq ft of retail, 100,000 sq ft of additional commercial opportunities and up to 80 residential units. The importance of scale and density is critical to an inter-section that is built on the backbone of public infrastructure. To realize this second phase of the project we will actively seek like-minded tenants and partners that will extend and catalyze our vision for a healthy and revitalized North Philadelphia.

Many years ago I lived in that house immediately adjacent to the parking lot. I believe every agreement with every developer that has come down the pike requires that lot to remain unbuilt on. In fact, there might be an easement on it. Honestly, I see it being a great, well programmed park, but I do think any building would tower over that tiny street...even a relatively small one. |

As North Philly continues to gentrify, City Council rezones to promote single-family homes
Updated: MAY 7, 2017 — 3:01 AM EDT http://www.philly.com/philly/busines...y-housing.html Last month, City Council unanimously passed legislation aimed at slowing the pace of that change. At the recommendation of the City Planning Commission, the ordinance introduced by Council President Darrell Clarke decreases the density of certain areas bounded by North Broad Street and Girard, Ridge and Cecil B. Moore Avenues in an effort to preserve more single-family housing here. Effective immediately, the ordinance shifts swaths of land from commercial-mixed use and multi-family designation to variations that focus more on residential single-family. |

Darrell Clarke wanted to down-zone it because the more of his district that is gentrified, the less likely his future is as a city councilman making 6-figures a year with a pretty pension waiting for him after retirement. It would be in the entire city's best interest if this clown was gone. I'm tired of my tax paying dollars supporting the paycheck of a moronic council-manic asshat who is almost single-handedly holding the city back. I will 100% support and fund any petition and protest (or whatever else) needed to get Darrell Clarke out of office. |
