Proposed Site & Artist Renderings

A new, state-of-the-art $115 million, 20,000 seat multi-use stadium and entertainment complex – home to the 16th Major League Soccer team coming to Philadelphia in 2010 – will sit in the shadow of the Commodore Barry Bridge. This complex is the critical catalyst for the $500 million waterfront revitalization project.
The stadium is just one part of the much larger project including town homes, apartment residences, office space, retail space and a convention and exposition center that will rejuvenate the historic community of Chester.
Commercial, retail and residential development will transform more than 80 acres along the Delaware River.
As the Buccini/Pollin Group approaches full lease-up of the 400,000 square foot former PECO energy generating plant, which it transformed into a class A office building (The Wharf at Rivertown), the master plan calls for the redevelopment of the adjacent 40,000-sf annex property.
Employers will be drawn to the region as The Buccini/Pollin Group develops 335,000 square feet of office space during phase one and 100,000 square feet of office space during phase two – a key element of the job-creation effort.
This project will bring renewed life to the Chester waterfront – an area that is being modeled after other successful waterfront communities.

Thank your State Representative and Senator for their decisions that will benefit the citizens of Pennsylvania.

KickStart Chester will create thousands of new jobs, bringing new life and vitality to an area vacant for decades.
