I would rather see what the redevelopment plans are before we let Southern Land raze those buildings. That said, they're not exactly on a primary street, and were never more than background buildings, so losing them is not that big a loss if the redevelopment is substantively superior.
This is a policy drum I'll pound: demolition should be contingent on a known redevelopment plan. (SLS is the best example -- the redevelopment plan was well-known before demolition started.) Southern Land doesn't have one out yet, so they shouldn't be seeking a raze permit.

The 1900 Chestnut building is going to put entrances and retail along sansom street RIGHT here, i am pretty sure. Thus, the opportunity to put these buildings to good use is very VERY strong. Saying its an "off street" is like saying that sansom between 15th and 16th had no potential ten years ago.
