There aren’t really any large retail spaces available on South Broad in CC for a Target etc. Everything that I can think of is occupied or is on its way to be which is a good sign

Is that figure Center City or Broad Street specific? Center City at-large is near full recovery, but South Broad may be struggling, which wouldn't shock me.
But to your previous point, Loch Bar is a great addition, the new Insomnia HQ will help, the Hyatt renovations are underway, and hopefully Dranoff will start his next apartment tower soon. It's not rocket science as to what Broad Street needs, but it's a slow piecemeal approach.
Eradicating the dirt bike issue is also paramount to creating an inviting stretch of roadway. And I'm sure I will get flak for this, but the Broad Street Ministry should be relocated off a main avenue.
