The property at 2009 E. Susquehanna Ave. has gone through some significant changes over the last few years, but then again, you could say the same about countless other properties in this part of town. A building stood here until 2016, sitting vacant and blighted. It traded at sheriff's sale a few

At first thought, the 600 block of Moore Street may not seem like the most obvious development site in South Philly. It's a couple blocks away from Pennsport, and it's a seven block shlep from Passyunk Avenue. This block in particular is a challenge, with a beer distributor on the

Fishtown is a highly desirable neighborhood with one of the best commercial corridors in town. South Kensington has seen a dramatic spike in developer interest over the last several years, with projects large and small filling gaps throughout the neighborhood.

Its shape is weird, with frontage on 25th Street, Washington Avenue, and Grays Ferry Avenue. It's directly adjacent to the elevated CSX train tracks which turn into the 25th Street viaduct on the other

As Brewerytown has boomed, development has continued to push northward toward Strawberry Mansion and eastward toward Sharswood. As you might be aware, there's only so much market rate development possible in Sharswood, since PHA is currently in the middle of a significant neighborhood transformation plan which will ultimately entail the construction

At the corner of Camac & Wallace in the West Poplar (sometimes called Spring Arts) neighborhood stands a somewhat out-of-place building that doesn’t seem to fit in with its surroundings. Its glass block windows, strange cornice decoration, and unusual shape seem to want to tell a story. Would you like
