What Does 'Walkable, Mixed-Use' Mean to You?

The Granite Run Mall has been sold to BET Investments Inc., which is owned by Toll Brothers cofounder Bruce Toll, according to an exclusive report from the Philadelphia Business Journal.

BET Investments Inc. paid $24 million for the 57-acre property that includes the mall, Acme, Kohl's, Sears Auto, AMC movie theater, and the strip of stores and restaurants along Baltimore Pike in front of the movie theater.

President of BET Investments Michael P. Markman told Philadelphia Business Journal that the property location offers a great redevelopment opportunity.

"We plan to create a mixed-use, walkable project with a well-planned combination of residential, business and retail uses,” Markman told Philadelphia Business Journal.

What does a "walkable, mixed-use" property look like to you? What do you want to see at the Granite Run Mall property? 
In June, we asked if you'd like to see the mall remain or what you'd like to see there instead and the response varied.

Some wanted a sports arena, or some sort of activity like a bowling alley or stage performances. While others wanted something like Brinton Lake, further down Route 1. Neither of those options include residential.

How would you tie a residential aspect into your vision?
