Sam Rappaport a was never developer per se as far as I can recall. He was, though, very negatively impactful as a real estate speculator and notorious commercial slumlord who owned huge swaths of Center City for many years.

Yup, still a parking lot....Always thought it would be a good space for the 76ers arena but I'm speculating that Jefferson wants it, eventually.

As this goes back to the ZBA next month, the 4th Zoning Permit issued today in the last 2 years noticeably seems to be going back & forth with the wording, as it now includes the consolidation of 512-520 Broad Street (which I thought The Goldenberg Group owned) at Broad & South.

However, the 2nd Zoning Permit (ZP-2022-012487) issued back on Nov. 14, 2022 also included said lot. the 3rd zoning Permit did not have this lot included, so I'm confused. Do they have another tower planned or is this simply a typo? Sure would be lovely if it's the former
