On-topic as it relates to the future of growth & development.

Thoughts on who should take over?

Too often Philadelphia just can’t get out of its own way.

He proposed banning bay windows in his district to stop gentrification

Oy. And his district goes into center city, which is alarming.

Developers GY Properties are looking to go even bigger, proposing an additional 42 units in Building A to bring the total unit count to 504 units across the complex

And across the street, 933 N Penn street is apparently moving forward according to Naked Philly's Instagram story.

I can't believe Waterfront Square never finished their other 2 towers or just put a proper street level entrance to the property. It's always looked unfinished.

Thats a disgusting proposal for that area.

Also do they plan to finish the other two towers? or at least fix the landscaping, and build something else? I'm sure they would sell out if they built the other two towers.

This is the first in a while that a developer wanted to change plans to add more units, usually it's the opposite.

Great news, the density from this project is amazing on Delaware Ave, That strip is gonna be popping in the coming years.

Justin7 · #**2855** Posted **Oct 16, 2023, 2:05 PM**

More units are good, but this is a huge downgrade at street level. Guess it goes well with the parking lots.

It looks like West Elm is closing their Chestnut Street store. I am praying that they find a new location in CC as opposed to just exiting...

skyhigh07 · #**2857** Posted **Oct 16, 2023, 4:27 PM**

Not good. If their intent is to stay, I assume they’d announce their new location in tandem of closing. Retail trends haven’t been good this past year.

That's a shame to lose a big longtime tenant. Any specific reasons why?

it certainly doesnt help that east chestnut st is on life support- nothing but vacancy and beat up storefronts.

No idea. To be clear, I saw this shared: https://www.metrocommercial.com/wp-c...hestnut-St.pdf

I am assuming this means they are leaving but haven't seen official announcement, sorry for not clarifying before.
