well, Riverview is an anomaly...built very recently to fleece the yuppie puppies on an old factory site. The same developer is building similar on the river in Bridgeport, and near City Line. I think he may have just realized all his properties share a unique vulnerability. These disused manufacturing properties were all sited to leverage the Schulkyll Canal...Pottstown, Phoenixville, Norristown/Bridgeport, Conshohocken and Manayunk.
