Ehhhh not so sure. I would rather have an 11 floor, 296 unit apartment building than an empty large grass lot. Plus, the company that bought it, PMC, is not necessarily known for their buildings being architectural gems:

2040 Market

1900 Arch

Plus, they are planning another building right behind 1900 Arch, a 25 floor building at 23rd and Cherry, and also just bought the Marketplace Design Center at 24th and Market and plan to add a tower on top of that.... sooo this lot will probably sit vacant for a few more years.
