A reader tipped us off recently that work is getting started on a project that will breathe new life into a currently unappealing warehouse on the southeast corner of 28th & Cambridge. We actually told you about this project a little over a year ago, right before it came before

You're not going to believe this, but we have a story about a property in the vicinty of Temple University that doesn't involve student housing. We were up in that neck of the woods earlier today, and as we were meandering about the neighborhood, an old building with a historic

It's been about a year since we last checked in on 16th Street in Francisville, specifically the stretch of 16th Street between Parrish and Ogden. A reminder, this block, along with the adjacent 1600 block of Ogden Street, was a vast desert of vacancy just a few years back.The vacancy

In real estate development, construction delays and cost overruns are the norm- and we see it all the time on projects both large and small. We often find ourselves saying that this project or that project are taking longer than we would have expected, a phrase we should probably scrap

At that time, the dueling surface parking lots on the southeast and southwest corners were

It's true that Philadelphia boasts numerous edifices that outshine the former New Macedonia Church at 875 Corinthian Ave., but that doesn't mean we won't be sad to see it go. About half a year ago, we told you that developers had purchased this building that's up the block from Eastern

When we were checking in on multiple projects on 27th Street last week, we also noticed some new framing underway around the corner on the 2700 blocks of W. Stiles and W. Cabot Streets. We've visited these blocks before, notably in the fall of 2015 when we described a plan
