MANAYUNK

Published by: Nicolette Patete, Social Media, Public Relations, and Events Assistant

Our very own executive director, Jane Lipton, has been featured in Philadelphia’s Real Estate Bisnow to talk about Manayunk as a “rebranded and reborn” district on the rise! The article highlights Manayunk’s appeal to “shoppers, tourists, and longtime residents alike,” with its more than 100 businesses, ideal riverfront location, and close-knit-community feel.

As discussed in the article, the district is currently awaiting the completion of The Station at Manayunk apartment complex, located right next to the Ivy Ridge Train Station, the performing arts and children’s play center located on Venice Island (behind Main Street along the canal), and the installation of a spillway and a sluice house to provide fresh water throughout the Manayunk Canal. Jane’s hope is to attract “families and out-of-towners like never before” with future plans of a public kayaking district along the canal.

More long-term leases are being signed, annual events such as the Bike Race and Philadelphia Marathon continue to grow and fill the streets with guests, and new establishments are being built.
