A union representing workers from Hahnemann University Hospital has a plan it says would keep the property a hospital, and prevent it from being flipped and turned into apartments.

Hahnemann’s Bankruptcy Spurs Fierce Reactions
July 4, 2019 | by: Tony West | Philadelphia Public Record – The bankruptcy declared by Hahnemann University Hospital’s owner sent shock waves through Philadelphia’s economic and political communities.

And experts acknowledge that the elderly plant is difficult to upgrade to support the needs of modern inpatient medicine.
Given Center City’s current real-estate boom, revitalizing the site, with a prime location at Broad & Race Streets, is easy to imagine. Future uses need not be medically connected.
