PHILADELPHIA — Metro Development Co. has broken ground for Bakers Square, a 220,000-square-foot shopping center located in the Hunting Park West submarket of Philadelphia. The project will be constructed on the site of the former corporate headquarters and production facility for Tasty Baking Company. The anchor will be a 71,000-square-foot ShopRite. US Realty will assist in leasing the center. The completion date was not released. Future development of the site calls for the preservation and redevelopment of the original 460,000-square-foot factory into a mixed-use project containing retail, office, educational and institutional space.
