Baldwin Towers sale eyed to spark 850 jobs in Eddystone
Delco officials approve a plan to sell the vacant Baldwin Towers to Preferred Real Estate Investments for 1.52 million cash. The eight story octagonal building, once the Baldwin Lima Hamilton Locomotive Works, will be redeveloped into an office complex housing about 20 companies with at least 850 employees. Preferred plans a 7.8 million upgrade including a new bridge, landscaping, utilities, a lobby and lighting to attract tenants within two years. The deal, tied to RTC transfer and county redevelopment funds, signals a major southern Delaware County rebirth as riverfront confidence grows.
