Buccini Polin Group is building a large mixed use building in the heart of the city one block from Market St. They have also purchased the Dupont hotel and are renovating and updating that as well. BPG is also renovating an older 8 story apartment building on 9th St which will be luxury condos and high end retail. They own the Nemours building which is located right behind the DuPont hotel and has a cool 4th floor space called the Mill which was designed by Rob Herrera as a co-working space which is now almost at full capacity. The Riverfront has gone through a few development phases and of course BPG owns most of the condo buildings down there as well. A lot of young professionals live in the condos on the Riverfront.
The focus is Market St and everything will hopefully build out from there. What they need is to get people to start living downtown and not just downtown, but in the heart of it near Market St. I believe the Millenials are more likely to live down there and will probably start to as soon as BPG's units are complete. The key to it all will be security. Once you have security then you can achieve "walkable urbanism". In order for a city to be revitalized you have to make it walkable and safe (google the success of places like Santa Fe and Charlotte).
