Mixed-use Development at 1900 Arch Gets Ok From the Planning Commission

The proposed mixed-use development at 1900 Arch Street is one step closer to starting construction.  Developer Eric Blumenfeld hopes to begin construction as early as August or September.  The 170-foot complex will contain residential, retail, and office development. The proposal includes 236 apartments, nearly 10,000 square feet of office space, and two restaurants.

Blumenfeld said he had not reached community agreements with the Kennedy House condominiums residents association or the Logan Square association, and he planned to ask the ZBA for a continuance.  He predicted an agreement would be finished in weeks.  Representatives from Kennedy House and Logan Square Civic said agreements would likely be reached, but could take longer than that.  They are supportive of the project.
