Daniel Piazza and his family are building the 270-unit Piazza at Ardmore. The project at the corner of Lancaster and Greenfield avenues includes 30K SF of retail and hospitality space. It is expected to deliver in February 2028.
“Our family spent decades assembling this block so Ardmore could have this moment, and we can say with certainty it was all worth it,” Piazza said in a statement.
The developer obtained a $112.6M senior secured loan from Bank OZK and a $28.1M mezzanine loan from Affinius Capital, which announced the financing deal in January. Radnor Property Group is overseeing construction.
The site is within walking distance of Suburban Square, one of the nation’s first open-air shopping malls, and a train station serviced by Amtrak and SEPTA’s regional rail system.
