Is this the current site of the Blue Horizon?
|
^^No. It's the site right next to the Blue Horizon. It would replace a one-story Freedom Theater building, and an unused surface parking lot.

On the flip side, highrises lining Broad street from City Hall to Washington Avenue? Yes again! |
This proposed project is one that I am very excited and hopeful to see happen (along with 1300 Fairmount)! I currently attend the Fox School of Business at Temple, and to see the area around Temple rapidly develop is truly amazing! Overall, the level of investment creeping up north along Broad is really helping Lower North Philly and it will eventually help North Central Philly.
Highrises like this will serve two purposes. First, it will add density, population, and foot traffic to North Broad and the Cecil B. Moore neighborhood. Secondly, similar to what has happened in University City, building housing units like this will give the neighborhood around Temple the chance to become a hub of innovation. Temple is already a nationally renowned research university that seems to ascend in the national rankings each year. What do Penn and Drexel have over Temple? The fact that they are able to influence their faculty to live in University City and other neighborhoods in Philly. Temple should aim to do the same. |
Great project. I'm currently a Political Science student at Temple and would love to see the urbanity of Center City extend down to Templetown seamlessly.

^^Temple bought the old abandoned school and demolished it. They built new athletic fields along 13th Street, as the old ones at Broad and Norris will have the new stadium built on it.
The section facing Broad is currently just an empty grass lot. They plan to eventually build a new building on the site but nothing has been announced yet. |
|
Notice of demolition and zoning notices are up on the site.

The small building on the site has been demolished https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...1e&oe=58B04F8E |

Is Master's Street north of Norris? Or is the streetscape of this development also marred by those hideous lightposts the city spent $14 million on instead of taking care of real, legitimate needs of North Broad? I think the Master's is well before Norris, and the lightposts go past this development up through Temple's area.
