I'm voting this project as "the project most likely to go into construction next in Philadelphia."

It is being marketed quite heavily. More so than Mandeville, 1706 Rittenhouse, or any of the other proposals which have not started construction. To me, this is a sign that the developers are serious.

In addition, it was reported I think in the Philadelphia Business Journal that some construction firm had already been hire to handle "pre-construction work." (Maybe that means demolition and site preparation.)

The first signal we should watch for, of course, is the closing of the Best Western Inn. Remember when the Budget Rent-A-Car closed for Murano and fencing went up around the site. That's what we should watch for.
