Built into the shell of a century-old municipal pier, Cherry Street Pier will be a reflection of Philadelphia today – enthralling, malleable, and diverse. The Pier will be a market, workspace, venue, and park, equitably shared and enriched by residents and visitors. Currently called Municipal Pier 9, located just south of the Race Street Pier, this space is 55,000 square feet extending into the Delaware River. It was built in 1919 and has been unoccupied since the 1980s. Development of the Pier will involve a range of carefully chosen interventions, including selectively removing a portion of the roof and repairing the stone headhouses, in order to preserve and celebrate the historic value of the structure.
