Our recent site visit has revealed that no construction progress has yet been made at the site of a seven-story, 157-unit mixed-use building at 1101-33 South 9th Street in the Italian Market, South Philadelphia. Designed by BLT Architects, the building will hold 204,351 square feet of space and is expected to cost $52 million to construct. The project will include accessory parking spaces as well as commercial space on the ground floor, likely on South 9th Street, which is a major commercial corridor. Hunter Roberts Holdings LLC is listed as the contractor.

Anastasi Seafood has now moved further up 9th Street (sadly in a smaller space), meaning that its building is now vacant and ready for demolition. I’m assuming (and hoping!) construction will start soon.
What was the holdup of the project? Was it political corruption and is this project a by right because if so,the city had no right to delay the project for over three years.
