Members of the Spring Garden Civic Association (SGCA) recently voted to approve the construction of four traditional single family row homes on a vacant seven-lot parcel on 23rd Street, between Brandywine Street and Pennsylvania Avenue.

We first reported about the purchase of the site and two adjacent Brandywine St. homes (2230-32) by Fairmount-based developers Loonstyn Properties, last

When the Calvary Church Condo project at 16th & Fairmount was nearing completion six months ago, we were excited about the adaptive reuse but lamented the blighted former garage across the street.

In February, some readers tipped us off that part of the garage was being demolished, and we had high

At the corner of 9th and Bainbridge Streets, just a few steps away from Chapterhouse, construction on two homes is moving along nicely. The home on the corner was a source of controversy when it was initially proposed, as it was to cover the “Autumn” mural, by David Guinn. Now, as

As we've covered before, the line between the southern end of Mantua and the northern end of the Drexel's campus has begun to blur in recent years. More and more, older buildings are redeveloped and new buildings are constructed on Spring Garden St., Haverford Ave., and others, to house the

If you happen upon 1624 S. 2nd St., you'll see a little empty lot among a number of fairly well maintained, three story homes. This lot seems to be used as a little garden, and at the very least is one of the more innocuous patches of vacant land we've

Last week, we told you about plans to construct a large building on the 1200 block of Buttonwood Street, next door to the most excellent Prohibition Taproom. Well, it seems like the development spirit is alive and well on this block, as we have news today about another development that's

In the winter, we gave you a sneak peek at Fitz4, a bold new development from Metro Impact, coming eventually to the Graduate Hospital neighborhood. At the time, we pulled some preliminary renderings off of the developer's Facebook page, just to give you an idea of the creative architecture that
