On 4 October 2008 The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced that it would build a new temple in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The temple was originally scheduled to be located at 427 North Broad Street in downtown Philadelphia. However, the church encountered "contamination" problems with that site, prohibiting it from using the entire parcel to construct two buildings. He said the Church was "in the process" of finalizing a sales agreement for 1739 Vine St., now a parking lot owned by Logan Place Associates.
