Even in this down economy, and with the exit of large anchor businesses such as Borders and Express, Chestnut Hill is starting to fill up its lingering vacancies. A good sign for the historic main street.

From Iron Hill to Earth, businesses are seeing value in Chestnut Hill; especially with today’s lower commercial rates. Let’s also not forget about the proposed Bowman project at the old Magarity Ford site.

Personally, I think that Chestnut Hill’s effort to re-brand the neighborhood has also helped.

Vacancies Fill in Chestnut Hill

Hmm, that rhymes.

It’s also great news for Germantown Ave in Chestnut Hill. Like most successful, well-grounded main streets Germantown Ave has experienced an increased number of vacancies ever since the great recession hit. The Melting Pot, Borders, etc.

The great news about this new spot is that it looks like it will fill a large vacancy on G-Town (I believe it’s right where the old Express was located, but don’t quote me on that). Iron Hill is a perfect fit for this neighborhood.

More to come…
