Daily News | A new hotel is planned for the Philadelphia Mills area in Northeast Philadelphia
A new hotel is coming to Northeast Philadelphia near an underutilized shopping center that used to be part of the Franklin Mills complex.
“There hasn’t been much interest in retail [in recent years], especially larger box retail,” said Ron Patterson, a zoning attorney with Klehr Harrison who is representing Sant Properties. “So they started to try and reappropriate the uses” in the shopping center. Simon Property Group, the most successful mall holder in the country, owns Philadelphia Mills. But the property was. A Simon’s press representative did not respond to a request for comment.
A zoning variance is required for the project because the land is zoned for purely auto-oriented commercial development. The project plans, drafted by Mussachio Architects of Williamsville, N.Y., list 1,785 parking spaces.
