As we expected, a recent site visit by Philly YIMBY has revealed no construction progress at Broad + Pine at 337 South Broad Street (also known as 337-41 South Broad Street) in Washington Square West, Center City; more surprising is that demolition has also not yet begun, although permits have already been issued.

Designed by My Arch and developed by Dranoff Properties (which is also behind the Arthaus tower half a block to the north), the proposal has been reduced in scale down from 28 to 15 stories, though its residential unit count has increased from 56 to 91 units.
