Additionally, pre-leasing is now underway for the project’s 322 residential units, whose occupants will also enjoy access to onsite retailers including Target, PetSmart, Starbucks and Sprint, along with 50,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenity space and panoramic city views.
Residential move-ins will begin this summer, with Sprouts also set to open in the third quarter of this year.
Sprouts, which specializes in fresh, natural and organic products at affordable prices, is one of the fastest growing retailers in the U.S., opening approximately 30 stores in 2018.
Lincoln Square will be the brand’s first Philadelphia location, and the ninth in Kimco’s portfolio.
The store layout will incorporate the adaptive reuse of Lincoln Square’s historic train station, which was a stop along the funeral tour that followed Abraham Lincoln’s assassination in 1865.
The historic structure’s Late Gothic Revival elements have been preserved and restored, including the pitched roof and other architectural details.
In addition to the onsite retail, Lincoln Square’s location at the corner of Broad Street and Washington Avenue, just two blocks from a SEPTA subway station, offers walkability to premier Philadelphia shopping and dining destinations as well as entertainment venues along the Avenue of the Arts.
Onsite amenities include a parking garage, fitness club, outdoor running track, bike storage, dog run, pet grooming station, golf simulator, and a green roof with outdoor kitchens, living spaces, lawns and fire pits.
Residential units at Lincoln Square range from studio to three-bedroom layouts, and will feature top-of-the-line appliances and finishes. ■
