Philadelphia YIMBY’s recent site visit has noted that demolition prep work has finally began at the site of the a 14-story, 86-room hotel proposed at 122 South 11th Street in Midtown Village, Center City. The permit calls for a total construction area of 51,181 square feet and specifies Midwest Construction and Painting Inc. as the contractor.

The two buildings at the site were apparently originally constructed as separate structures, with a two-story low-rise at 122 South 11th Street at the southwest corner of 11th and Sansom streets, and an adjacent brick-clad, four-story mid-block structure at 124 South 11th Street. Since that time, both have been functionally united into a single structure with a unified ground-level exterior treatment and interior function, where the first floor became home to the Midtown II Diner.

Do not demolish a beautiful Philadelphia landmark
Sure version 🙂
In my opinion, you are not right.
