Such a double edged sword, on one hand you only become expensive when you're desirable. On the other hand the area has completely lost its advantages in this regard and it's going to be even more competitive and a tougher sell.

So glad to see movement on Festival Pier at long last. This may be a token gesture just to get everything filed and permitted before the end of 2020 to hold onto the current 10-year tax abatement pre the 2021 change, but encouraging to see the group take this somewhat significant step. Site plan and overall quality looks really strong from this submission. Nice to see them placing retail both at the mouth of the project but also along the river. Completing this project would be significant not just as a shot in the arm for the area's density, but for how much public park space we'd gain as another link in the waterfront system.

I like the Columbus/Delaware Ave designs. These are visually attractive low rises. Page 23 of 31 in the .PDF file shows 16 different exterior materials being used on the project. I think that might be a record for the mixing and matching the exterior of a building.

What percentage of the rather large number of residential buildings proposed since COVID do we actually think will be built. Don’t get me wrong, Philly had momentum before this but we were no Austin or Nashville. I have faith that workers and vibrancy will return to city centers, but it is still a big unknown.

a lot of this is being rushed to get permits under current tax abatement law, I suspect many of these are nowhere near being funded and ready to go

Didn't 1121 N. Delaware Avenue already go to the CDR a year and a half ago?

Does anyone know why it's going for another round after all this time? Something to do with change of ownership? Lapsing of permits?

Whatever else has changed, the design/layout of buildings is quite a bit different. Added apartments and retail, fewer townhouses.

Philly developers propose thousands of new apartments in a rush to beat the tax abatement change

https://www.inquirer.com/real-estate...-20200810.html

Quote:
All told, the August proposals would produce 3,600 new apartments — just slightly less than all the housing units that were approved in 2019. September’s agenda is likely to bring another bumper crop of apartments, including a thousand units in Northern Liberties alone. Among those angling for a hearing is developer Bart Blatstein, who has a new plan for his sprawling site at Broad and Washington, this time a 14-story apartment building.

It’s clear that the impending demise of the 10-year abatement is what’s driving these applications, but how many of these projects are likely to be built? Interest rates are now near zero, making it cheap to borrow. But are banks and investors really willing to gamble on speculative rental housing in Philadelphia?

Based on interviews with developers, urban planners and industry experts, the answer is a qualified yes. Not every pretty rendering submitted to the design review board will turn into an actual building. And the bigger projects, such as the 461-unit enclave on the former Festival Pier, will probably be built in phases. As long as developers produce construction drawings and obtain a building permit before the end of 2020, they are locked in under the 10-year abatement, even if they don’t actually start digging right away.

Given all the talk about people fleeing cities for the suburbs to escape the pandemic, developers here remain surprisingly bullish about Philadelphia’s future.

Some very interesting tidbits in this article, including Post Brothers' proposal to demolish Liberties Walk and replace it with a 102-unit building of 3BR and 4BR apartments aimed at families who can't buy in the neighborhood. I get that Liberties Walk has never quite flourished, but all the same I'll be sort of sad to see it go given the unique character it creates in the area. Given that it's several blocks long, I wonder which blocks Post intends to redevelop?

Separately, the rendering provided in the article and posted in the Piazza Terminal thread shows an unnamed tower adjacent to the Terminal occupying the site where Post currently houses their offices in a 1-story warehouse. So I guess that's yet another redevelopment play.
