As the saying goes, one can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, but this is rather handsome, all things considered.

Amazing what windows and clean, minimal design can do.

In terms of looks, I think the like this a little better than the Aramark re-design.

Spark Therapeutics said to be expanding University City footprint with new lease

https://www.inquirer.com/news/spark-...-20200423.html

Quote:
Spark Therapeutics Inc., a locally founded gene-therapy company recently acquired by pharmaceuticals giant Roche, is said to be in a deal to fully occupy a second building across Market Street from what will be its future University City headquarters at the former Bulletin newspaper building.

Owner Brandywine Realty Trust is converting the 64,000-square-foot building at 3000 Market St. into life-science offices where Spark will be the sole tenant, according to a person familiar with the lease negotiations but unauthorized to discuss them publicly.

Basically means SY won't be built as envisioned though. That building was supposed to be demo'ed eventually and if Brandywine and Sparks are going to invest in the building then it means that it's probably not going anywhere for 20+ years. It's a fine building though. There's still plenty of room to grow over there.

I am ok with it. Reading back in the thread it looks like 3000 Market was low on the development priority order. They list the building with just under 50k of leaseable space. Given the climate we are now in, I'll take Spark placing additional stakes in the ground with the hope that they further cement the movement of gene/cell therapy development in Philly

I'm glad it's not being demo'd. That base is awesome and plenty of other plots where towers will rise. A well-designed overbuild would be cool, though.

I agree. I've always liked this building. Though I'm not sure if this even changes anything. Pretty sure demoing this building was way down on the timeline of a 20+ year construction timeline, so investing money in the building now, doesn't really stop them from replacing it in 2036 or whatever distant future date.

I think the big takeaway is the jobs. Great news. And another indicator that the heart of Philly's economy should hopefully not be as affected by everything as most industries.

Yes, I hope so. I think Meds and Eds will remain strong, but we have a big hospitality, service, and restaurant industry that will suffer. Among other areas.

a overbuild should be possible as apparently this building was constructed to hold livestock on the roof. I hope they restore the first floor. It sounds like Spark's is in a hurry to grow, and that's good.

You know, there is at least a 40% chance that this is the new development we will see at Schuylkill Yards for several years...

Well either way, it's a great start. This park and the reskinned bulletin building are both incredibly well done.

Agree. This is 1000x better than what it looked like previously.
