Broad Street Garage to be Replaced by ‘Upscale’ Hotel from Choice Hotels?

Looks nice, but I wonder if it means more market saturation for the already uncertain SLS.

I find this project to be underwhelming. Not too exciting.

So the Verrelli buildings will be kept for good, or is Pearl planning something else for that site?
Also are they relying on the state budget like SLS? |
The more i look at this, the more it looks like the garage it replaces. Not a complaint, just an observation.
|
This is quite meh. It looks like it just sits on the garage parcel. I thought Pearl owned both the garage and corner parcels here?
|
Wider is not better. Glad only the garage is being replaced. I think the corner building is quite nice despite its small size, but if it is replaced at some point there will be two thin(ish) buildings instead of a stumpy box.

Say no to mega block projects. |
And correct me if I'm wrong but the corner property (Perch Pub) is being redeveloped by Dranoff/SLS group for a mid-tier hotel, right? I am also questioning hotel saturation. This hotel, Doubletree, and the potential mid-tier SLS are pretty much all the same level. I get that SLS is different and that Philadelphia has room for more 4-5 star hotels.

The should throw some apartments and condos in there to get a few more floors.

I was told 15 years ago that this parking lot was going to be turned into a hotel and I have been waiting ever since. Dam it took better than a decade for this to happen but I'm pleased. Broad street is hot right now for new development.:notacrook:

Oh and the hotel looks okay. Not great, just okay. It's too bad many of these hotel projects aren't going to be finished in time for the DNC. They are missing out on all of that profit. |
I think part of the idea is that if you make it unappealing to park in the city then most people won't take their cars in and use public transportation. I've had to go to NYC a few times this year for various reason and took septa/nj transit cause I know parking will be a pain in NYC.
