Irish Built: Castleway on RitSq; Fox joins Claret

Mark King of Castleway Properties and his Philly zoning lawyer, Carl Primavera, unveiled the Irish firm's latest plan for 1900 Walnut at the Philadelphia Planning Commission on Tuesday. Castleway would build a 525-foot condo tower on Sansom, a 220-foot hotel on Walnut, and 25,000 square feet of retail wrapped around the street level. Garden roofs, a pedestrian walkway.
  The plan would close a block of Moravian Street, noted commissioner and building union leader Pat Eiding. That plus tower heights, and a plan to move parking and trucks underground through a narrow exit, would need city permission.
  Separately, Joseph L. Fox has left Pitcairn Properties to head global real estate for Irish investor Claret Capital, founded by ex-Royal Bank of Scotland investment banker Domhnal Slattery in 2005. Claret properties include JetBird and Blue Ocean Wireless. Philadelphia is Claret's second U.S. office, after New York.
