David Grasso, owner of Grasso Holdings Development Company, has tried to bring two separate House of Blues locations to Philadelphia over the last few years with no success. But now he thinks he found the right location.
House of Blues was founded by Isaac Tigrett (co-founder of Hard Rock Café) and actor Dan Aykroyd. They have 12 live music concert halls and restaurants throughout the United States in major markets like Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Boston, and Chicago. Since its opening in 1992 in Harvard Square, it has become a premier live music club for touring bands across the US as well as a popular spot for southern dining.
Grasso has his sights on the 27,000 square foot Richmond Street building in Fishtown for the proposed site, which would require zoning changes on the property which currently bans nightclubs. Grasso's tentative plans for the venue predict the capacity of 3,500 people during concerts and onsite and nearby parking for 1,250 vehicles. Grasso envisions a project that will help drive positive development on the waterfront, create jobs for the community, and generate tax revenue for Philadelphia.
