SITE BOUNDARY As part of the Master Plan for the Central Delaware, the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation (DRWC) has identified three priority sites for development of the Master Plan, the southernmost of which includes the selected site for this studio. The area of focus runs along the Delaware riverfront from Dickinson Street to the north, Snyder Avenue to the south, and Front Street to the west. The site interfaces with adjacent new residential development to the north along the river, the port facilities to the south, and the existing Pennsport neighborhood to the west. The main properties include the power center at Columbus Crossing and a variety of single tenant/big box commercial properties and strip retail centers along Christopher Columbus Boulevard.
