With The Barnes next door to the expanded library, the renovated Aviator Park and the museum's Perelman annex and planned underground expansion, we're assured a transformed Parkway.
What's happened to the former school administration building that sits beside(west side) the Franklin Institute. Last I heard, it would be condos.

The Administration building has been developed into apartments (not condos). They are relatively high-end and it has brought new residents into the area. The plans for re-doing the parkway from 22nd to 20th street are good and result in a decrease in traffic lanes and an increase in bike lane widths, and the plan is to also re-do Sister City Park (in front of the Cathedral).
All and all positive developments.
