9 Presidential Blvd - Bala Cynwyd

More for the City Avenue area. Definitely another step in the right direction in creating a midrise/highrise urban strip between Philadelphia and Montgomery County. 5 story 180,000 sq ft new office building will replace a two story outdated office building with more urban street frontage and retail.

400 West Elm - Conshohocken

340,000 sq ft 7 floor office building. Again more positive developments for Conshohocken to add to the 3 tower massive development at Fayette and Elm in Conshy.

^That last one has been sitting stalled for years....

Thanks for the updates though! I Keep forgetting there's so much going on in that area....

Good to see that dead zone being filled up with new structures. That area can accommodate a LOT more people without being close to overcrowded.

$10 million for this? It's scarcely even an improvement...

Yeah and $10 million is scarcely even enough money for new linoleum.

Silly Inga. Garagefront rowhomes (airlites?) are a not uncommon feature of Roxborough. Complaining about parking rings hollow to me for this reason.

That said, my opinion on parking remains -- if the developer wishes to provide it, let him. But if he does not, then let him not. Parking is a salable amenity. It should not be a requirement.

I like the developer's quote in there. He says that he is happy with the new overlay since he felt as if he HAD TO include parking since his competitors included it. It creates a feed forward mechanism with parking, which really is an amenity. I know that parking garages are bad for the city, but if I could have one, it would make my life a lot easier. This article argues that, at least some developers include parking because they feel like they have to in order to be competitive in the market.
