Penntex Construction is pleased to announce that they have started construction of 2.0 University Place.   This new five story 105,000 square foot office building is located at 30 N. 41st Street in Philadelphia.  The development team, lead by Scott Mazo,  was successful in attracting an anchor tenant, a division of The General Service Administration called Citizenship and Immigration Services, to occupy over 50% of the building which made it possible to obtain financing and finally break ground for this exciting new project.  According to Shraga Berenfeld, the building is the first LEED Platinum Pre-Certified building in Philadelphia and the building is completely eco-friendly.  The project is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2013.

May 4, 2010: Tastykake Baking Company celebrates the grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony of their new 345,000 square foot baking facility located at 4300 South 26th Street in the former Naval Yard of Philadelphia. 

“The state-of-the-art plant - hailed as the "largest green bakery in the world" - is a new edition of the six-story Tasty factory that had been a landmark in North Philadelphia's Nicetown section for 88 years”.  Utilizing highly automated ovens from Australia and Lititz, Pa., and its "straight-line flow" from production to packaging to warehouse, their new facility is much more efficient than their former plant.
