Philly takes a lesson from SF Waterfront Development
It took a lot of careful planning of the Mission Bay neighborhood to avoid the “box in a parking lot” look and now a new SugarHouse casino development in Philadelphia is hoping to put in place something similar.
“On the same day last week that SugarHouse released its revised design for a big-box casino on the Delaware waterfront, I was strolling through San Francisco’s new Mission Bay neighborhood, eyes wide and mouth agape…
…Mission Bay is easily one of the best new waterfront neighborhoods in America, with 2,700 new condos already built. Yet a mere 10 years ago, the place didn’t exist. It was 300 acres of raw brownfields, populated by a few hardened pioneers living on houseboats in Mission Creek.”
