Give to something that’s growing 🌿

In 2019, you brought the Rail Park to life. This year, you brought laughter and joy to the Rail Park. You had conversations with neighbors.  You took walks, watched the seasons change, enjoyed dance and music performances, stargazed, and made new friends.  And we are just getting started.  

This #givingtuesday, we are asking for more than your gift — we are asking you to join our movement. Together, we are bringing a new kind of park to life, one that will connect 10 different neighborhoods with three miles of bike lanes, gathering space, and greenery for all.  

We can’t do it without you. You made Phase I happen by banding together with friends and neighbors to demand a brighter future for our City. With your support, we grew to a team of two full-time staff who work tirelessly to make the dream of the Rail Park a reality — connecting thousands of neighbors to nature, creating inspiring cultural experiences, and laying the groundwork for Phase 2.  Today, give to something that’s growing.  DONATE.

New Developer, Different Plan at Broad & Spring Garden – OCF Realty

Newest rendering

Per a story from Inquirer.com, Parkway has decided to sell the property to Alterra Property Group, and Alterra is taking a very different approach to the site. Instead of two separate buildings, they will build a single structure that rises seven stories. The building will contain a sizable retail space on the first floor, for which Alterra is targeting a supermarket, and we imagine that people in the area would welcome such an amenity. In the six stories above the potential market, we’d expect 498 apartments, though the Inquirer story indicated that some of those units might get switched out in favor of office space. If you have concerns about parking, rest assured, two levels of underground parking garage with 283 spots should satisfy any parking needs associated with the building. Here are some renderings from JKRP Architects, thanks to the Civic Design Review packet for the project.
