Christy Recreation Center in West Philadelphia awards MBC as GC!
McDonald Building Company is honored to be the general contractor for the Christy Recreation Center enhancements and renovations, the space has been a long-standing cornerstone staple to the West Philly Community. MBC is eager to watch the progress for the 40,000 square-foot renovation project that will refresh and enhance this beloved gathering place while preserving all the memories and history housed within these walls. We want to offer a huge thank you to Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority (PRA & PHDC) for their investment back into the community and to SMP Architects for their artistic vision for shaping the future of Christy Rec Center that will be enjoyed for many years to come. Once finished the project will bring a new spray ground to cool off in the summer, upgraded playgrounds, resurfaced basketball courts, a multi-use striped court, outdoor fitness stations, and expanded seating areas. Keeping it cool just in time for summer…We’re also making important ADA-compliant upgrades to help keep Christy Rec accessible and continue being a welcoming place for all.
We broke ground in November and are making steady progress towards completion slated in late spring 2025. Big shoutout to our MBC project team for ALL their dedication to bringing this vision to life. West Philly, this space has been part of your stories for years, and we are thrilled to be part of its next chapter together! #mbcbuilds #buildingontrust #mcdonaldbuildingcompany #awardannouncement #workinprogress #westphilly #christyreccenter #philly #renovations
