Looks like every other too-short piece of shit popping up across the city like a wart

18 sorties is pretty huge for that part of town.

I was surprised by that too.
From the article,
“…the property sits within a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) overlay, which allows for additional density and height due to proximity to public transit.”

Yeah, I saw that. And some 7 story buildings on the same lot. That’s insane for this part of town.

Maybe, but it also creates a permanent structure that will never be able to really be expanded upon. It loses its potential energy, so to speak.

I don’t think that’s true. There is still so much infilling to be done in Philadelphia (look at how many parking lots we have across the city).
While we would all love to see every new build being a super-tall, I think we need to fill in those low density gaps first.
Things go more vertical when there’s less horizontal space. There’s still a lot of horizontal space here.

Has there been a bigger residential development outside of center city in the past 20 years?
