Bummer. Love having that open space there. And sad they are replacing it with something that looks like an old hospital. Hopefully, it’ll lean more towards a factory look when built.

What was the benefit of that open space? It was a parking lot and not a public one, right?

Agreed. I'm in no way a NIMBY but this proposal is lacking. So much interesting new construction in South Kensington and this is simply near the bottom of the barrel.

It was used widely by the community. It’s the lot that many fitness studios have used throughout Covid: City Fit, Amrita Yoga, etc. it’s also used for large happy hours on Fridays. And it’s the farmers market throughout the year. Honestly, it’s used by a wide range of people and organizations.

Tons of great development there, but the breakout star of the show is that self storage project. Thank GOD that was built.

I think storage units being built correlates with money coming in the area.

I don't have any data on that but that I see storage units being built in masses across growing areas.

Does anybody have any info on what’s going on with lot that burned down on walnut between 17th and 18th?

PHL10 · #**16540** Posted **Aug 30, 2021, 3:13 PM**

I don't know but I believe I read that they will be required to recreate the facades which might hinder things (not that I would necessarily disagree with that).

I have the sinking feeling that we will be dealing with that gaping hole for a while.
