Work on converting 142 N. Broad St., a mostly vacant
building across from the Pennsylvania Convention Center, into apartments is
scheduled to begin early next year, according to BLT Architects, the renovation
project's designer.

apartment building.
Plans call for adding three additional floors to the
now-dilapidated six-story building to accommodate 101 rental units with
ground-floor retail space, BLT marketing chief Heidi Thiede said in an email.
The building,
sandwiched between PAFA's Samuel M.V. Hamilton Building and Parkway Corp.'s 150
N. Broad Street headquarters, is currently used as an underground parking lot,
with its upper floors apparently unoccupied.
The project is being developed by Myron J. Berman, Thiede
said. Berman also owns the Northern Liberties building that houses the Electric
Factory concert venue.
