DRWC board member and Central Delaware Advocacy Group, which helped develop a master plan for the waterfront, insisted Matt Ruben said the selection process was guided by the city’s decade-long failure to redevelop the land of Deerelicat port on the Delaware River.
“We saw a bunch of failed proposals that had no common theme and were not based on a consistent plan.”
The master plan instead envisioned the waterfront as an expansion of the neighborhoods in the surrounding center city, including improvements to pedestrians, new streets, public amenities and a mix of developments.
The durst plan seems to have won points for doing exactly that. The rendering for the larger of the two parcels shows the new street between Market and Chestnut Street (known as “Penn’s Landing Road”) and includes new gardens and pedestrian spaces between the four main structures and between the I-95 Park Cape.
Echoing Hankowski’s remarks, Reuben showed how the master plan is at the center of the final selection.
“We have one and the same goal: to make that plan a reality.”
DRWC will begin the community engagement process on the Durs proposal after a formal formal agreement is reached with the developer, officials said Wednesday.
