Lead Story

Brandywine Unloads Another Conshy Office Tower for $21 Million

· · 1 min read

Well, here we go again. Brandywine Realty Trust has offloaded Six Tower Bridge, another one of its Conshohocken office properties, in a $21 million sale. That's the kind of headline number that sounds impressive until you remember what these towers used to trade for.

For families, the immediate question is not the price tag but what it signals. The Conshy waterfront was built on the assumption that office workers would keep filling those glass boxes along the river. Post-pandemic, that assumption has been getting a workout. Every time a tower changes hands at a discount, it raises real questions about the tax base that funds our schools, roads, and parks, and about what the next owner has in mind for the space.

Nobody is panicking on Fayette Street yet. The dining scene is booming, residential is full, and the borough's day-to-day feels healthy. But the office side of the equation is quietly rewriting itself, one tower at a time. Full details are over at MONTCO.Today.

Angelo's Pizzeria Is Quietly Keeping Conshy's Bread Tradition Alive

·

Conshohocken used to smell like bread. Multiple bakeries, generations of Italian families, ovens running before sunrise. Most of that infrastructure is gone, but Angelo's Pizzeria has been picking up the slack, expanding its wholesale bread operation and keeping the loaves that built this town on tables around the region.

It is a small story with a big undercurrent. In a week when a 45-year-old bridal boutique announced it was closing under pressure from Amazon and SHEIN, it is worth noticing which local businesses are figuring out how to grow. Angelo's is doing it by leaning into what Conshy actually is, not what a spreadsheet says it could be. Read the full write-up at MONTCO.Today.

Izenberg's at 401 Fayette Street has added an all-you-can-eat salad bar, running weekdays from 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM. If you have ever tried to convince a kid to eat something green during summer break, unlimited toppings and letting them build their own plate is a decent bribe.

Heat Returns Midweek and Montco SPCA Gets a Reset

·

Two things worth putting on your radar this morning. First, AccuWeather is calling for extreme heat to return to the Philadelphia region midweek. Today is the seasonable warm-up act. Plan the outdoor stuff for early or late in the day, and keep water bottles filled for the kids. Details at 6abc.

Second, after a rough stretch of headlines, the Montgomery County SPCA has been ordered to replace its board of directors, improve services, and pay $21,000 in penalties as part of a settlement with the state Attorney General. Officials say the shelter's lifesaving rate has since climbed to 95 percent. If you have been holding off on adopting or supporting the shelter, the situation is actively being rebuilt.
