Renovating The Gallery

That’s right, you heard that correctly.

By the end of 2012, PREIT plans to announce formal plans for a complete, $300M overhaul of the The Gallery; a 1.1M square foot urban mall in the heart of Center City. The Gallery is not only located at one of Center City’s largest public transportation hubs (Market East), but it’s only a short walk from Independence Mall (Philadelphia’s most important tourist attraction).

Great idea for an urban mall

The Gallery in Center City, and Philadelphia’s Mural Arts Program, are working together on a retail space that will benefit both parties. Plus, The Gallery is the perfect place for something like this. It’s a hub for public transportation, it’s close to Independence Mall, and it’s in need of new tenants.

With the economy still pretty slow, it’s these kinds of ideas that are helping local companies grow.
