Haverford School pays nearly $20M for nearby 43-acre property

The Haverford School, an all-boys day school on the Main Line, has paid $19.88 million for a 43-acre property in Bryn Mawr that once served as the Presbyterian Children’s Village. 

The property at 452 S. Roberts Road is roughly three miles from the school’s campus off Lancaster Avenue in Haverford. The seller was Gemma Services, which was represented by David England of BHHS Fox & Roach.

Haverford School has not decided what it will do with the property. The school, which sits on 30 acres, is essentially landlocked at its current location though it has added several new facilities over the years to enhance its campus.

Concerned about costs, PRDC Properties sells NoLibs site tabbed for $100M development

Fishtown Landsites

PRDC Properties has sold 650 Fairmount, a 5-acre parcel in Northern Liberties where it had planned to build a $100 million mixed-use development.

PRDC bought 650 Fairmount for $16 million in 2017 when it was the site of Fairmount Manor, a complex of 100 garden-style affordable apartments. The company worked for three years to secure the approvals for a new development that involves 297 apartments, 107 townhouses and 21,000 square feet of commercial space.

PHL to Kick Off $900M Cargo Expansion Project with New $15M Facility

Philadelphia International Airport is readying to break ground on the first phase of its $90 million undertaking to triple its cargo footprint with a new facility on the former grounds of its economy parking lot.

As part of the plan which it announced last summer, PHL will construct a new nine-acre, 70,000-square-foot facility. The air support facility will make way for PHL to then reposition its C2 Building, located on the tarmac, into a more cargo-focused space. The C2 facility currently spans over 80,000 square feet and has four wide-bodied aircraft parking spaces in front of it, making it ideal for cargo to flow through. Despite that, most of the tenants in the C2 Building are not cargo-focused. Rather, it hosts mainly maintenance and cleaning crews for passenger planes. 

The undertaking is part of a plan in partnership with Aviation Facilities Company Management (AFCO) to ultimately add 136 acres to PHL’s air cargo capability and offerings, nearly tripling capacity. PHL CFO Jim Tyrrell said doing so could result in thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in economic impact.
