Developer to pull, pending revision, plan for Old City apartment building

PMC Property Group, one of Center City's biggest residential landlords, says it will revise its application to build an apartment building along a historic cobblestone lane after officials recommended that the plan be rejected.

PMC Property Group, one of Center City's biggest residential landlords, says it will revise its application to build an apartment building along a historic cobblestone lane after officials recommended that the plan be rejected.

The company will withdraw its application to the Philadelphia Historical Commission's architecture committee and discuss the proposal with neighbors and others before resubmitting it, PMC executive vice president Jonathan Stavin said at a Tuesday hearing.

The commission's architecture committee had been scheduled to consider the $28.5 million development proposed for 218 Arch St., along a cobblestone street known as Little Boys Court.

Committee staff had said that the 10-story building was incompatible with its Old City surroundings, and that PMC had not shared enough information about how it would restore Little Boys Court.
