Philadelphia developer Bart Blatstein wants to build a casino, entertainment and retail complex on the property he now owns along Callowhill Street between Broad and 17th and turn the iconic Inquirer/Daily News building into a hotel.

Stretching over three blocks, the development will be anchored by the only downtown casino in a "top five major city," Blatstein said, and will be a major economic engine in North Philly.
