Verified. There are still pieces that need to fall into place, but I'm very optimistic.

The way I found out was that he accidentally wrong number texted a friend of mine. Friend sent me a screencap and I was immediately like "Oh, THAT Leo Voloshin?"

Good riddance. Although I can't believe the developer screwed this project up. Townhouses of much lesser appeal are sold in Fishtown nearly as fast as they are built.

Hopefully the developer of the PECO Delaware Generating Station grabs this property and builds something that fits the plot better.

Bigger news here is that the Inquirer has premium articles now.

This is good. At least these eyesores will be gone now. Hopefully another developer buys it and puts a mixed-use development here.

Haha yeah I used three different browsers this morning and in-private browsing and couldn't figure out why it would not load. Then I read it carefully and saw that no one could view it unless they are a paying subscriber.

Yes, they've been paywalling as 'premium/subscriber-only' some articles and Inga's column for about a month or so.

I couldn’t take a pic, but I spotted a tower crane base at 525 N. Broad, the 9-story building set to rise shortly. With this, the Alterra project, and the Toll Brothers project at Broad and Noble, we should see four tower cranes surrounding the intersection of Broad and Spring Garden soon!

Now, if only Mural West at 501 North Broad would get started…

525 N Broad would actually be the Mural West tower. That lot is 523-5 N Broad.

The project you're referring to is actually 545 N Broad.
