Developer buys historic property with plans for mixed-use complex

A developer has purchased an historic building at 6th Street and Girard Avenue in Philadelphia for $1.5 million and plans to develop what was originally known as Farmers’ Market House & Hall into a mixed-use complex. 

The sale of the prominent property at 527-37 Girard Ave. took more than two years to get done — twice as long as expected — because of the Covid-19 pandemic and the building’s nomination to be on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places, a designation that added a level of unexpected complexity.
