Gotta say, I am NOT a fan of this. Not this particular development, nor am I blaming the developer, but I wish we were building 4-6 story apartment buildings (with no parking) on these kinds of sites in center city. We could house a lot more people in an apartment building than in these rowhomes on steroids.

In other news, per the Inquirer, the University of the Arts is considering building a new residence hall on or near South Broad, which could result in the school selling an existing dorm. A decision is expected within a month. U of Arts is also renovating a bunch of their other buildings, including the Gersman Y building.
