The North Philadelphia skyline is about to transform in a significant way thanks to The Legacy on Broad, a 329-foot, 28-story-tall high-rise proposed at 1518-28 North Broad Street next to the Temple University campus.

The development will span 360,798 square feet and offer 289 residential units, comprised of 147 group living units and 142 multi-family apartments. The residences will be geared primarily to university students and will hold a total of 868 beds.
