Parker Plans Homes On City Land

Parker Plans Homes On City Land

Mayor Cherelle Parker unveiled a plan Monday to use $1 billion in city-owned land to support her H.O.M.E. initiative, aiming to create and preserve 30,000 housing units. In a nearly 90-minute City Council speech, Parker proposed streamlining Philadelphia’s Land Bank acquisitions and expediting land transfers to pre-approved developers for affordable housing. Her budget plan includes borrowing $800 million, with state and federal funds bringing the initiative’s total value to $2 billion—the largest housing investment in city history. The plan targets 13,500 new homes and the preservation of 16,500 existing units.

NorthPoint Plans 247-Acre Data Center in Bucks County

NorthPoint Development is shifting its strategy to include a 2 million-square-foot data center at its Keystone Trade Center in Bucks County. The $1.5 billion industrial project, located on a former U.S. Steel site in Fairless Hills, is entering its third phase. NorthPoint envisions the site as a “digital infrastructure campus,” spanning 247 acres with 10 data center buildings ranging from 112,000 to 217,000 square feet, each standing one or two stories tall. The Kansas City-based developer has secured approval from Falls Township’s Board of Supervisors for the project. Previously, NorthPoint planned to develop the 247-acre site with four distribution warehouses, including a 1 million-square-foot facility at 1 Ben Fairless Drive and over 3 million square feet of warehouse space at 700 S. Port Road.

Center City Site Sold to Local Developer

Center City Site Sold to Local Developer

A Philadelphia developer has acquired a prime Center City site from Parkway Corp., ending Parkway’s stalled plans for a multifamily project. An entity linked to Ryan Kalili purchased the property at 14-30 S. 21st St., on the southwest corner of 21st and Ludlow streets, sources say. Kalili, co-founder of Archive Development, reportedly made the purchase independently of the firm. The sale price has not yet been recorded, and both Kalili and Parkway Corp. CEO Rob Zuritsky declined to comment. Previously used as a surface parking lot, the site was slated for a 31-story apartment tower before Parkway scrapped the project in 2023 due to rising interest rates and construction costs. Located east of the Mütter Museum in a booming development area, the CMX-4-zoned property allows for residential and commercial use. If developed, it would mark Kalili’s first major project in Center City.

Village at Valley Forge Developer Plans Final Medical Building

The developer of the Village at Valley Forge is in talks with potential medical tenants for a build-to-suit facility on the last remaining undeveloped portion of the 132-acre project in King of Prussia.

Realen expects the final parcel to be dedicated to health care, with the potential to accommodate up to 400,000 square feet of development.

Exton Square Mall Acquisition Completed

Exton Square Mall Acquisition Completed

Abrams Realty & Development has officially acquired Exton Square Mall, finalizing the purchase on Tuesday and setting the stage for a major redevelopment of the struggling retail property.

The Elkins Park-based firm, led by owner Peter Abrams, purchased the 75-acre site for $34.25 million. The seller, Philadelphia-based regional mall operator PREIT, had previously been under contract to sell the property in 2022 to Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE: BDN) for $27.5 million, but that deal ultimately fell through.

The sale marks the end of a prolonged chapter for PREIT, which recently transitioned into a private company after emerging from bankruptcy protection.

PPA Garage in Center City to be Redeveloped

PPA Garage in Center City to be Redeveloped

The Philadelphia Parking Authority will demolish a five-story parking garage near Jefferson Health’s Center City campus to make way for a new eight-story garage with 6,500 square feet of ground-floor retail along Chestnut Street.

Gilbane, based in Rhode Island, was selected to build the new garage at 10th and Ludlow streets. While the property is in a prime redevelopment location, current plans don’t include additional uses above the garage. However, PPA spokesperson Martin O’Rourke said the design allows for future air space development. The site falls within CMX-5 zoning, the city’s most flexible designation, permitting commercial and residential overbuild options. A demolition permit for the 450-space garage at 1025-29 Chestnut St. was issued Wednesday. The L-shaped structure wraps around buildings at 10th and Chestnut streets and fronts both Ludlow and Chestnut streets.

University City District Boosts $60M Schuylkill Waterfront Fundraising

University City District Boosts $60M Schuylkill Waterfront Fundraising

University City District is meeting with state lawmakers as it ramps up fundraising for its $60M West Philadelphia Waterfront project along the Schuylkill River. The two-deck structure, proposed last spring, would stretch between Market and Chestnut streets, featuring a café, aquatic marsh, beach, and splash pad.

Construction likely won’t begin until 2027 to avoid competing for funds with the city’s 250th birthday celebrations in 2026. The nonprofit plans to fund the project through philanthropic, public, and private investments, with an initial $600,000 goal by summer to kickstart community engagement.

Broad Street Diner Site to Become a 110-Key Hotel

Broad Street Diner Site to Become a 110-Key Hotel

Plans have shifted for the Broad Street Diner site in South Philadelphia. Owner Michael Petrogiannis now intends to develop a 110-key Hyatt Studios hotel at 1135-43 S. Broad St., replacing his previous plan for a five-story, 31-unit residential building with restaurant space. The hotel will rise five or six stories and include surface parking.

The Broad Street Diner, built by Fodero in the 1960s, operated until 2007 before Petrogiannis reopened it in 2011. Its closure depends on the redevelopment of the former Melrose Diner site at 1501-1527 Snyder Ave., where he plans a residential building with a new Melrose Diner. Once that project is complete, demolition and hotel construction will begin.
