PHILADELPHIA, PA—National Real Estate Development and Ullico Inc. have closed on a $141 million construction loan for 1100 Market Street, paving the way for construction to begin at National's East Market project in Center City.

National also named Tutor Perini Building Corp. as the general contractor for the mixed-use project just east of City Hall, awarding it $117.5 million in contracts. East Market is owned by National Real Estate Advisors, JOSS Realty Partners LLC, Young Capital LLC and SSH Real Estate, and developed by National.

“There are a couple of things we are trying to do with this project,” says Daniel Killinger, managing director of National, who spoke exclusively with GlobeSt.com. “One is to have it be large enough that it can help transform Market Street east of Broad. When we do that, we want to connect between the convention center and Reading Terminal Market as a bridge to the neighborhoods to the south. In order to do that right, it's about making a new place that fits, dynamic exciting place where people want to be, to open their restaurants, open their shops, rent an apartment.”
