Vacancy on East Passyunk
Michael Klein, Philly.com
East Passyunk Avenue is one of the hottest stretches of commercial real estate in the city, and over the last five years, it's become a restaurant row.
The nonprofit Passyunk Avenue Revitalization Corp. wants more. It is rehabbing a building as a restaurant/apartments at 1911 E. Passyunk Ave., between Tre Scalini and the former Sticks & Stones (which will be revived as Noir).
PARC's Sam Sherman says the first floor would make a fine BYOB seating 24 to 35. He says PARC would fit out the restaurant to a tenant's specs at a rent of $2,500. Electricity for the restaurant will be supplied by a solar panel array on the roof.
Sherman says he's looking for something different for the Avenue, perhaps an organic restaurant. (Disclosure: A family member had considered renting the space.)
Zoning allows for a restaurant but the operator would need to get a use permit as the commercial space has been vacant for more than three years.
