Amazing ambition from this guy. Would love to see how much he can pull off, especially around the Family Court Building. Even Disney Hole is mentioned:
"Adler, who has spoken with The Inquirer four times since February, says these major proposals are just the beginning. He has his eye on the Willow Grove Mall, the stalled redevelopment of the Family Court building on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, and the federally owned Custom House in Old City. He also has big ideas for the Fashion District and the generally troubled East Market Street, including the Disney hole."

“I’ve done everything I can in Philadelphia,” Adler said. "One more deal, the Family Court building that I want to buy. Then I retire from Philly, and I put my efforts in New York City and San Francisco.”
Amazing if he could turn the Family Court Building into a really special hotel, like Philadelphia's version of the Ritz Paris. Let's hope he stays in Philadelphia for a while longer, as New York is a totally different game.
He said he doesn't build new, not sure what he can do with the Disney Hole, unless he partners with another developer?
