Live/work is better than a bedroom community and it will be hard to build office space when all the industrial parcels are gone.

Also I LOVEthe Corinthian project. MM partners does great work. I lived around there for a bit and it's near a context insensitive project where a stone church used to be at 869 Corinthian. Glad to see it can be done
is 18k SF large enough to accommodate a Trader Joes? I would like to see some legit retail branch off the main roadways like Frankford Ave and Front Street.
