Columbus Crossing
PAST
Completed in 2001, this 142,000 square foot shopping center brought nine new retailers to the Delaware River waterfront shopping district, including the first urban AC Moore store and the first upscale 61,000 square foot Super Fresh Market in the Delaware Valley. After Wal-Mart abandoned its plan for a Sam’s Club, Tower purchased the 11 acre tract in anticipation of attracting high-profile regional and national retailers to what is now a “power center.” Before construction began, Tower pre-leased the entire development. Additional tenants include Old Navy, Famous Footwear and Coconuts. This development was sold to Cedar Wood Shopping Centers, a Real Estate Investment Trust.

Tower’s nationally renowned Northern Liberties Redevelopment began in January 2000 when Tower acquired the former Schmidt’s Brewery at 2nd and Girard in Northern Liberties at Sheriff Sale. Demolition of the brewery has sparked substantial redevelopment activity in the neighborhood. Additional properties throughout the neighborhood have been acquired as Tower Investments, Inc. takes a long term approach in neighborhood investment. Several commercial and residential buildings have been completely renovated or are currently being renovated as a part of Tower’s redevelopment efforts in Northern Liberties.
Since January 2000, in addition to the specific projects listed below, Tower has constructed, renovated and leased more than 550 residential units and 150,000 square feet of commercial space in formerly neglected and abandoned Northern Liberties community.
