They've just about finished vacating all of the stores from the retail spaces at the 12th & Walnut garage, too.

12th and Walnut will also be demolished and two highrise towers will replace it. One office building, and one residential building. It's the next Phase of the "East Market" development.

?? Isn't that 12th and Chestnut? 12th and Walnut is a garage next to 1213 Walnut. https://www.google.com/maps/place/12...!4d-75.1606651 I know of no current plans for it. The 12th and Chestnut East Market project is a different garage that is coming down.

You're getting your cross streets confused, Summers.

I am not aware of anything happening at 12th & Walnut, but there’s been a clear push to get the retail tenants out. Starbucks moved across the street, Masala Kitchen is moving across the street, the cleaners on 12th is closed, the clothing store on Walnut is closed.... If nothing else, they’re at least renovating.

Not sure this is an extrinsic push from the owner. The old cost space is far better for Starbucks. New tenants have moved in, such as the medical marijuana store.

I wouldn't be surprised if the medical marijuana store expands through the whole floor. I doubt the garage is going anywhere-- they just got that mural painted on it.

The garage could technically be considered historical since it's the largest remaining development from one of the city's only female developers of the 20th Century, Goldie Hoffman. It might be her last Center City one once the small retail building on the 2000 block of Chestnut goes down.

Re the medical marijuana store -- that could very well be what's happening. They've definitely consolidated a couple of the raw spaces, it looks like.

It'd probably be good for that store to move or expand into the Walnut Street side. I do hope this garage is eventually redeveloped. I find it to be an ugly one, even though they attempt to liven it up with modern art paintings on the upper floors. And the plot seems large enough to include parking and maybe even a lot of that underground in the right project. But, like everyone said, it's going to be awhile.

Wow. Forgot about this one! This will be a huge improvement. Were'n there two other proposals on essentially the same block as this from before the pandemic hit too? One at the Wendy's and one at the former Midtown Diner. Wonder if they'll make a comeback too.

Hopefully! There's been no movement on either for months, if not over a year.

I think this is one of the most handsome proposals in the city. And a needed and specific use.

Can't wait to see it rise.
