#ulinext @ccdphila’s latest housing report shows population growth that reinforce the walkability and the reason why people choose to live on the city @ULIPhiladelphia

[Jeff Pastva @jeffpastva]

#ulinext stitch and capping projects are showing a lot of success and future promise. There are other regions/neighborhoods in Philly that can benefit from that @ULIPhiladelphia

[Jeff Pastva @jeffpastva]

#ulinext restaurants doing great in center city, which still shows a thriving neighborhood and density @ccdphila @ULIPhiladelphia

[Jeff Pastva @jeffpastva]

#ulinext universities are both investing in physical buildings to enhance the in person student experience, but also programming to make it valuable @ULIPhiladelphia

[Jeff Pastva @jeffpastva]

#ulinext a high rise office building has a density problem. Harder to adapt and too many units to bring to market @ULIPhiladelphia

[Jeff Pastva @jeffpastva]

#ulinext vacant commercial can lead to less upkeep, with street presence one of the first operating costs to cut back on, leading to a worse urban experience @ULIPhiladelphia

[Jeff Pastva @jeffpastva]

#ulinext office to residential is a hot topic, but it’s complicated. There are a lot of buildings with super deep floor plates that are hard to convert.

For those that are viable, you need all commercial tenants to vacate prior to conversion @ULIPhiladelphia

[Jeff Pastva @jeffpastva]

#ulinext the state of work in Philadelphia — Return to office seems strong, especially with rising mixed use in residential neighborhoods. Work from home can coexist with urban recovery if all services are close by @ULIPhiladelphia

[Jeff Pastva @jeffpastva]

@ParkwayCorp seeing increased increase in office build to suit in Philadelphia

[Jeff Pastva @jeffpastva]

@ccdphila seeing increased downtown pedestrian traffic continuously as part of a post pandemic recovery #ulinext @ULIPhiladelphia

[Jeff Pastva @jeffpastva]

#uliphl despite the challenge of office conversions, it may not make sense to build flexible use buildings from the jump

[Jeff Pastva @jeffpastva]

#uliphl @NavyYardPhila developers raised 100 MM in equity because they focused on value creation and how it differentiates product

[Jeff Pastva @jeffpastva]

#uliphl @LVPlanning Everything everywhere, all at once. On top of the need to make capital improvements, #climatechange has required replacement of infrastructure that wasn’t planned for. #resilience

[Jeff Pastva @jeffpastva]

#uliphl councilmanic prerogative has made for a city with 11 mayors

[Jeff Pastva @jeffpastva]

#uliphl @SEPTA is the least funded transit agency per capita in the country. Leveraging competitive grants is a way to way that up, but harder to make capital improvements

[Jeff Pastva @jeffpastva]

#uliphl the greatest civic investment currently being considered in Philly is a “sports arena”. According to Sam, who spent 10 years in municipal finance hasn’t seen economic growth from an arena

[Jeff Pastva @jeffpastva]

#uliphl @LVPlanning 16k housing units short of affordable housing @AIAPennsylvania
