Tower Investments, Inc. is one of the leading developers of retail, entertainment and commercial properties in the Philadelphia area. Since 1978, the company has distinguished itself as an innovator and pioneer, finding significant opportunities in areas overlooked and underserved by more traditional firms.
Principal Bart Blatstein, recognized long before anyone the enormous potential of Delaware Avenue for large-scale retail and commercial development, job creation, business opportunities, tax revenues and the impetus for more investment in the City. This vast retail and commercial district, built on formerly abandoned industrial property entirely without government subsidy, established Tower as a leader. In addition, Tower's undertakings along the waterfront have spurred further investment and building along Delaware Avenue.
Tower Investments has quickly become the creative force behind Northern Liberties and has developed more than a million square feet of retail, commercial, entertainment and residential space.
Musicians and artists have long been transforming this warehouse/row house neighborhood, and land of former breweries district into Philly's version of SoHo. Warehouse buildings lend themselves to this development as great living or working space for artist's, music, art studios and restaurants. The neighborhood enjoys great food, art and music. The Northern Liberties community sits between Girard Avenue and Spring Garden Street and is a block away from the waterfront.
Once an industrial section of the city, the housing stock was primarily made up of row houses; now warehouses are being reconfigured into loft living and work spaces. This is a neighborhood of diversity, with an assortment of residential and industrial architecture. Our AIA Award winning design, coupled with the Bistros, Internet Cafes, Bookstores, Art Galleries, Quaint Markets, Fashion Boutiques and most important, YOU! Being part of Tower Investments Portfolio means being part of a community that has become the City of Philadelphia's most popular destination.
