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.
