Major development projects have been sprouting along North Broad Street, which one restaurateur called "the next big corridor" of the city. More than $500 million in new development is planned for the stretch of North Broad from City Hall to Temple University. The street also will get a $12 million face-lift with landscaping and 29 pillars of light, stretching from Spring Garden to Norris streets. Temple is building a $147 million residence hall at Broad and Cecil B. Moore Avenue, and a $48 million expansion of Pearson and McGonigle Hall. The university also has renovated the Baptist Temple into a performing arts center.
