LETTER FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

The energy on North Broad is incredible. With projects like the Divine Lorraine, the Metropolitan Opera House and the Beury Building, the community has a nervous excitement about this revitalization and the type of opportunities it could mean for their business, homes and families all along North Broad.

The 2017 State of North Broad report provides an in-depth look at the changing landscape of North Broad Street and adjacent areas. From new to proposed development to quality of life, this reports aims to keep stakeholders connected and informed about this corridor, and what its revitalization means to them.

Overall, you will see that North Broad is experiencing various highs and lows. You’ll see slight increases in statistics like population growth and income, yet the area still struggles with high unemployment and low educational attainment. Overall, our job at the North Broad Renaissance (NBR) is to take this information and data, determine how we can support the positive and mitigate the negative, and work towards inclusive growth than could positively impact the entire North Broad community – including our most vulnerable population.

One way to accomplish this is the proposed idea of creating hubs on North Broad Street. Each hub – a tech hub, an arts and culture hub, a professional service hub and a health hub – will be strategically positioned along the corridor to build on its strengths and provide economic development and sustainable employment opportunities for the communities east and west.

And NBR is poised to take on this challenge.

The corridor is still at the early stages of development and revitalization and with average income of North Broad’s resident at $15,000 a year; NBR has to be a part of the conversations around inclusive growth. Collectively, we can create positive development opportunities that can be duplicated across the region – we just need to Think Broad.

Thank you, Shalimar Thomas, Executive Director North Broad Renaissance THE STATE OFNORTH northbroad.org | #ThinkBroad BROAD 2017 5

Among approximately 20,000 housing units in the North Broad census tracts, 25 percent are occupied by owners and 62 percent are occupied by renters. According to ESRI Business Analyst, the vacancy rate declined by 3.3 percent from 2010 to 2017 and is expected to continue decreasing through 2022 due to increasing population and housing demand in the area.

The number of housing transactions in North Broad census tracts increased by 28 percent from 2014 to 2016, and is expected to continue to rise according to Philadelphia Housing Index (PHI)3. The average sales price increased by 17 percent from approximately $127,000 in 2015 to roughly $148,000 in October 2017.

Rent along North Broad Street in the target area spanning from City Hall to Germantown Avenue varies significantly. The areas along the corridor in close proximity to Center City are addressing increasing demand with the introduction of new, luxury apartments offering a variety of ameni- ties with rent often ranging from $1,500 for a one bedroom unit to over $3,500 for a 3 bedroom unit.4 Rent ranges fall considerably while travel- ing North on Broad Street, as the type, quality, and age of housing changes. In the Hartranft, Fairhill, and Allegheny West neighborhoods, where housing tends to be older with fewer amenities, rent ranges from below $1,000 for one bedroom units to below $1,500 for a three bedroom units. @$);$."%&'%"&"#=%12.3=$%'#J2=:%*&I12.3%21%.$O=:%

Spotlight: North Broad Business Hubs

Through research and strategic planning, NBR has started placemaking efforts to incorporate hubs along the corridor that build on current community assets and provide real economic opportunities for the entire North Broad community.

• Establishing a tech hub, where tech businesses can grow and also train students at nearby high schools (including Ben Franklin, Tech Freire, and Franklin Learning Center) for careers at these establishments.

• Establishing an arts and culture hub, that brings together the arts and the community in a way that preserves that history and culture of North Broad Street.

• Establishing a professional service hub that adds diversity to hiring institutions and who are committed to hiring from the community they serve.

• Establishing a health hub that fights the growing health crisis in the 19140 zip code, and works to create a healthy environment thereby supporting residents’ efforts to become healthy employees and find sustainable employment.

According to PA Department of Health, the North Broad area is within two of the unhealthiest areas in Philadelphia – North and Lower North City Planning . Life expectancy in North and Lower North is both lower than the city average, and the percent of population with poor or fair health in North and Lower North is higher than Philadelphia average. In addition, North Broad residents fair worse than their citywide counterparts on a number of key health statistics such as HIV diagnosis, birth weight, prenatal care, adult smoking prevalence, adult hypertension prevalence, and adult diabetes prevalence.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Strong growth and development activity signifies a thriving corridor and community. As new commercial, retail, entertainment, and residential <2==2&.%2.%#11$11$,%@)&@$)":%C#=I$%#=&.3%(&)"*%+)&#,%!")$$"% space is introduced to the existing landscape, residents, visitors, and 2":%&'%#11$11$,%C#=I$%#=&.3%"*$% employees benefit from expanded housing choice and proximity to an ;&))2,&)>%%V,I;#"2&.#=%#.,%)$=232&I1%2.1"2"I"2&.1%#=1&%*#C$%#%;&.12,$)#<=$%2J@#;"%2.%"*$% increasing plurality of stores, employers, and entertainment options. Development along North Broad is adding both luxury residential units as 1%&.%(&)"*%+)&#,%!")$$"E%O*2=$%)$=232&I1% well as some affordable housing options. In addition, property owners benefit from the growing desirability of the area and subsequently rising property values.

Businesses also benefit from enhanced access to updated space and increased visitor spending driven by the attraction of new businesses and employers along the corridor. The economic revitalization of North Broad Street will ultimately be driven by growth and development. NBR is committed to ensuring this revitalization is inclusive by engaging all community stakeholders and seeking overall improvement of quality of life along North Broad Street. According to the Urban Institute, the work of community oriented, market responsive development organizations like NBR can catalyze investment and ultimately the economic revitalization of urban neighborhoods, resulting in significant increases in property values and quality of life.

Roughly $45 million has been invested in transforming the Philadelphia Metropolitan Opera House at 858 North Broad Street into a Live Nation managed concert venue. The historic structure was built in 1908 and was initially used by various opera houses including New York’s Metropolitan Opera House before serving as a movie theatre, ballroom, sports venue, and church over the years. In 2017, the Philadelphia Historical Commission approved a request to install LED signs modeled after 1930’s illuminated signs. The restoration effort is being led by developer EB Realty.

TRANSPORTATION

The North Broad Street corridor plays an important role as a transportation hub and connector in a region with world class transit, pedestrian, and bike infrastructure, offering multiple transit options to commuters, residents, and businesses.

Transit Options

Residents, commuters, and visitors benefit from a variety of public transportation options along the North Broad Street corridor. There are eight SEPTA subway stations located in the North Broad Renaissance target area including: Race-Vine, Spring Garden, Fairmount, Girard, Cecil B. Moore, Susquehanna-Dauphin, North Philadelphia, Alleghany, and Erie. The SEPTA Broad Street Subway Line has the second highest daily average ridership at 124,000 passengers and offers 24 hour weekend service to its customers14.

In addition to subway service, SEPTA offers expansive bus service, enabling residents and patrons of the North Broad Street to travel throughout the city.

Transit Improvements and Developments

As part of the “Rebuilding the System” program, SEPTA is rehabilitating and replacing essential infrastructure and systems, while also focusing on safety and security improvements and the modernization of communication and signal equipment15. Many of these projects include improvements on North Broad Street including planned renovations at Susquehanna-Dauphin, Fairmount, Erie, Hunting Park, and Wyoming stations, modernization of the signal system on the Broad Street Line’s Broad‐Ridge Spur, and replacement and upgrade of major components of substations serving the Broad Street Line including Park, Broad, Louden, Castor stations16. In addition, SEPTA has proposed $30 million roof replacement to the Midvale Bus Garage located less than a mile west from Broad Station. Another potential project that is currently under study is the extension of the Broad Street Line from its current terminal at AT&T station to the Philadelphia Navy Yard, enhancing the public transportation connection between North Broad and South Philadelphia, particularly with the thriving Navy Yard employment center17. The project is estimated to cost $500 million, and the feasibility study results are expected to be released in 2017.

WHY THIS MATTERS

The demand for improving and expanding transit services in North Broad area is high because public transit is the primary mode of transportation for residents, students, and commuters to access school and job centers. Nearly 37 percent of workers living along North Broad use public transit to get to work. Of those that use public transportation, 25 percent travel by bus, nine percent travel by subway, and three percent use other means of transportation including trolley and regional rail. Nineteen percent of workers walk or bike to work and 32 percent drive. Improving public transit services plays an important role in providing access to job opportunities, reducing pollution, reducing congestion, conserving energy, increasing quality of life, encouraging job growth, and, overall, creating positive neighborhood economic impacts.

WHY THIS MATTERS

The City of Philadelphia has experienced a general decline in major crimes in recent years; however, public safety continues to be a significant concern for residents, visitors, and business owners22. High crime levels lead to low house prices, low neighborhood satisfaction, less local involvement, and increasing desire to leave the neighborhood. It is crucial to provide a safe living environment to the residents in the areas, including the large student population.

NBR is focusing on public safety along North Broad through a partnership of institutions and providers including the Philadelphia Police Department, Temple Department of Campus Safety, and the SEPTA Transit Police Department. The Philadelphia PD SafeCam program encourages individuals and businesses to register their cameras to assist in deterrence and overall crime prevention strategy, 5*21%#)$#%21%;*#)#;"$)2L$,%#1%*#C2.3%#%)#"$%&'%@$)1&.#=%;)2J$%;&.12,$)$,% demonstrating the department’s commitment to establishing strong #C$)#3$%2.%;&J@#)21&.%"&%"*$%;2":%#.,%#%)#"$%&'%@)&@$)":%;)2J$%,$$J$,%1=23*"=:%*23*$)%"*#.% community partnerships.

In addition, NBR is working to add more live stream cameras along North Broad, and safety ambassadors to patrol areas along North Broad Street.
