I had to sneak into an oil refinery for that one, so you're welcome

If signing grocery stores as large anchor tenants can get projects off the ground sooner, I'm all for it.
I used to live at Lincoln Square and Sprouts is always packed. So much so I would not go there during the weekend.

Many of us have wanted to see more high rises on Del Ave. Happy to see this moving forward. That said, I expect street commercial will probably be limited, given what we’ve seen in other developments on Del Ave and what appears to be the green strip between building and street in this rendering. But the density is very much welcomed!

Boom. Somebody make a thread! Article says they plan to begin construction in Q1 2021, so don't expect much here for at least a year. Though I'm sure people will inevitably come to the thread asking if the project is still alive

A little disappointed in the appearance of the lack of a sidewalk level retail. Columbus Blvd is desperate for that.

Not sure this stretch of Del Ave could handle retail as it’s very isolated today with only 2 apartment buildings and a few houses right behind them. It’d be hard for a business to sustain itself here.

To your point though, a little further north up Del Ave between Fishtown and Rivers Casino, it seems to be on the tipping point of supporting some street commercial space.

We might go to settle for this being like Chicago’s lake area high rises or Miami Beach type development for now.

This would be a great spot for an entertainment district that included a music venue and a dual Temple/Union football/soccer stadium.

The article specifically mentions it will include 10,000 s.f. of retail. That's a sizable chunk big enough for one large tenant (like the ever-popular Heirloom Market), two mid-sized (a CVS and something comparable), or probably 4-5 in-line spaces for cafe type offerings. Question is whether they'll subdivide and lease it smartly.

It’s a good question. I’m glad the space is there, if for no other reason than potential future potential. I think retail or restaurant businesses will struggle there today without strong foot traffic or a sizable residential community, but offices for real estate or other commercial would be fine. I could be wrong though (wouldn’t be the first time...ha)
