Reply to comment by ColdJay64 in Any updates on the Quartermaster Plaza development? by hockeystuff77

Genuine question: Why would any biotech company go to this development when there are tax incentives at the Navy Yard?

I'm an architect actually toured this space with SkyREM (the developer) when they were looking for proposals. It has a massive amount of square footage for space. There's not unlimited amount of space in the navy yards and there are a lot of biotech companies coming to Philly. Though most of them are going to the navy yards and west Philly.

The quartermaster had a cool history and there could be cost benefits for renovating and repressing historic buildings that are on the site. There's even still an orginal bowling alleys that the officers of the time used.
