(Philadelphia, PA) December 14, 2022 –  Jefferson Apartment Group (JAG) and Haverford Properties Inc. were joined today by city officials and the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation (DRWC) for a groundbreaking event at Rivermark Northern Liberties—the new 9-acre mixed-use development on the Delaware River waterfront formerly known as Festival Pier in Philadelphia’s Northern Liberties neighborhood.

The development includes an array of public-use features, including a large public plaza, splash pad water attraction, art installations, an extension of the Delaware River Trail, and public waterfront access, in addition to 470 luxury apartment units and 45,000 square feet of vibrant retail and restaurant space anchored by a Sprouts Farmers Market. Most recently, the site was home to the Festival Pier outdoor concert venue, which closed in 2019.  

The development is slated for completion in Spring 2024.

(Philadelphia, PA) It has been a summer for the books along the Delaware River Waterfront, complete with hundreds of free events and markets, the PECO Multicultural Series, stunning fireworks displays, the introduction of the first ever Philly River Stroll, and the game-changing opening of the new Delaware River Trail, which has literally been the path that connects it all. With kids going back to school, summer travel, and beach days coming to a close, the Delaware River Waterfront has planned a robust lineup of events and activities to help soak up the great weather, fight the end-of-summer blues, and welcome in autumn with this year’s Fall Fest.
