Slowly but surely, we're continuing to see development creep northward in South Kensington. Just the other day, for example, we told you about three homes under construction on the rarely explored 500 block of Morse Street. Today, please allow us to draw your gaze to a large vacant lot right

If things break right, change will soon be afoot for two corners of the 22nd & Christian intersection. We already told you before about plans to demolish the one-story building at the northeast corner and replace it with a four-story mixed-use building with a vegan pizza place on the first floor. That project went

We were meandering around South Kensington the other day, and as we were traveling on the 500 block of Montgomery Avenue, some construction construction caught our eye on a nearby block. This construction is taking place on the 500 block of Morse Street, a block that we bet you'd struggle to

Some projects we cover are from way out in left field, like a 32-unit apartment building in the middle of Port Richmond, or a random triplex near 8th & Master. Other projects though, are so intuitively logical that when they finally come around, we find ourselves feeling like we're gonna have

Over the summer, we directed your attention to the northwest corner of 17th & Bainbridge, where we found a demolition notice affixed to the New Light Beulah Baptist Church. We noted that the building was constructed around 1870 as the First Church of the Covenanters Presbyterian Church, but made the observation that

The Philadelphia Housing Authority serves a crucial role in our city, providing over ten thousand units of affordable housing to low income residents. Most of those units are located in large developments, like the Richard Allen Homes in Poplar or the Southwark Homes in Queen Village. But PHA also owns

Wow, MM Partners. That didn't take long at all. It was only about 15 months ago that we first told you that MM Partners had purchased 3101 Glenwood Ave., a six-story industrial building that was home to the Pyramid Electric Company from 1980-2000. The building was designed by Leroy B. Rothschild and

East Kensington has been on a rather dramatic upswing over the last several years, but the neighborhood was struggling for decades before this recent boom. We believe it was likely the NTI efforts by the Street administration that knocked down hundreds of blighted buildings in the neighborhood, leaving it with a

10 Rittenhouse has been a fixture on the northern end of Rittenhouse Square for several years now, so it's easy to forget the boondoggle surrounding its construction. The project was originally supposed to get underway in 2005, which would have meant its completion in 2007 into 2008. That would have been difficult timing,

The neighborhood around 600 Moore St. is pretty standard South Philly, a bunch of row homes with some first floor storefronts mixed in, and the occasional large commercial or institutional building. For some reason though, the city block that's bounded by 6th Street, 7th Street, Moore Street, and McClellan Street has
