One of the general complaints with the Post Bros./Blatstein project a block away is that it doesn't have any height. I think if this project ever gets off of paper and is built, it would certainly be a plus for the area----I hope there's no above ground parking for either building----and if for some reason the south tower, the residential tower, grew by 10 or more stories, that would be fine with me, even if the skyline was in danger somehow.

The existing health center building looks lost in this concept, like the poor 2nd cousin at a wedding, but unless one could build on top of it, whatever might get built here is going to be a design challenge. I'd say this project is highly speculative. Hell, Goldenburg doesn't build anything, never mind something creative!

Goldenberg since 2013/2014 has built 4 highrises in Philadelphia. Not sure why people keep saying they don't build anything. They've built more than most developers in less than 10 years time. Are they Brandywine Realty Trust? No, but they do still build. If they pull Broad & South off, I'll have 100% confidence in them moving forward.
