This building would not look out of place at all in Dallas' "West Village"/Uptown neighborhood; most new (less than 10 yrs old) development there looks like this, and ground floor retail is all mostly upscale/upmarket. Not sure whether someone in Philly would take that as a compliment though, but it's true...I look at your pics, and I think of Uptown Dallas... which is still really car-driven area but is getting more pedestrian. On Broad near South, this development is certainly very pedestrian friendly.
I'd love to see more such developments happen in Philly, to where they don't feel out of place anymore.
Thanks for all the pics! Looks good.
