They've become a big organization. Besides what they do here, they have
contracts to manage student housing for universities elsewhere.
Nice to see hometown people doing well for themselves.
Maybe they could buy the building at 40th & Pine from Penn and renovate it
as a really prestigious world headquarters. They could even build a 2- or
3-story addition on the south side to increase the space... something that would
be barely visible from the street. Much more sophisticated than rag-tag use of
random commercial space in the area that might better be rented to local
entrepreneurs eager to meet the demand of residents.
Of course, this wouldn't leave a no-money-down profit for a patsy since "the
community" would probably be happy to have it, and would likely get behind a
variance to use the property in this way.
speaking of 'the community' and 40th street, how much of
40th street do you think serves penn student housing
residents and how much serves the 'hometown' residents? how
well has penn praxis guided the development of 40th street
to achieve a balance? how do you see penn praxis' role in
future developments where campus meets community?
