The former Budd Plant
The former Budd Hunting Park plant was acquired by The Plymouth Group in early 2019. The 2 million+ square foot complex, spread over 26 acres, encompasses one of the biggest revitalization opportunities in the City of Philadelphia. Once home to one of the city’s largest employers - this property is a virtual poster child for the Federal Opportunity Zone program to channel thoughtful investment into underinvested neighborhoods. The site’s former manufacturing spaces present a stunning architectural canvas for its rebirth, and the project’s proximity to numerous highway and mass transit options make it accessible to the entire Philadelphia market. While still in the early design phase, this project promises to be an exciting engine of growth for Philadelphia’s future.
The Plymouth Group, founded in 2003, is a Real Estate Development firm specializing in value add, mixed-use opportunities in the Tri-State area and selected markets nationally. It's outside the box approach enables it to create value by capturing opportunity that others often overlook.
