Another vacant lot is coming to Market East

The Sixers and Comcast are moving to demolish a group of buildings they own on the 1000-block of Market Street. Their long-term plans for the site are not yet clear. The companies have said the goal is to eventually erect a major development that could help revitalize the area. In the meantime, Sixers and Comcast hope to “activate” the lots slated for demolition with “pop-up” opportunities related to the FIFA World Cup and the nation’s 250th birthday being hosted in Philadelphia next summer.
