Demolition of the Fortieth Street ME Church, at 40th and Sansom Streets, will happen by year’s end.

Owner P&A Associates has altered the plan slightly. The earlier vanilla box with a tall glass facade has become a vanilla box with masonry skin and glass openings. It will contain four commercial spaces ranging in size from 1,500 to 3,000 square feet. Each of the spaces will be equipped with space for outdoor seating and restaurant ventilation infrastructure.

Legend Properties has assumed the responsibility of marketing the site. For more information, check out Legend Properties’ website.
