Rivertown Development & Soccer Stadium
The illustrative representations of the site, developed by The Buccini/Pollin Group, portray a dynamic combination of entertainment, retail, residential, and commercial space for the waterfront
Along Chester's emerging waterfront, plans are being rendered for an exciting $400 million waterfront development project. It was recently announced that the City will receive $47 million in state funding to aid in the construction of the site. The new development will be located adjacent to the Wharf at Rivertown, located along Seaport Drive. Anchored by an 18,500 seat soccer stadium, this new development includes over 200 new residential units, over 22,000 square feet of retail space, 335,000 square feet of office space, a 200,000 square foot exhibition center and a 1,350 space parking garage. This new expansion of the Rivertown development will further transform our waterfront into a destination for the entire Philadelphia region.
