ENR MidAtlantic City Scoop recently looked at construction starts in Philadelphia.
GBCA member Shawn Carlin, Vice President and Head of Philadelphia Office of Gilbane Building Co., was also featured, speaking just as COVID-19 response in Pennsylvania was beginning.
From ENR MidAtlantic:
Carlin said adaptive reuse work spurred the market in Philadelphia because of the city’s plethora of older buildings. He said mixed-use projects in the town center were also “popular as they attract the younger population that this city so desperately needs to retain as they graduate from the city’s abundance of colleges.”
Carlin said the education and health care markets were also booming before the crisis. “The work rarely ceases,” Carlin said before the number of coronavirus cases began growing exponentially.
