Just last week, we gave you an update on the elimination of a surface parking lot at 24 S. Front St. and the early stages of construction for nine townhomes. We were excited to get a better understanding of this project, having been uncertain about several details when we first

About two weeks ago, we came across an event invitation which advertised the grand opening of a project we had covered in May of last year, when the site was but a hole in the ground. Just from looking at it, you might think that the new building at 4050 Haverford

Francisville has grown by leaps and bounds in the last half decade, but some blocks in the neighborhood have remained in sad shape. Even Ridge Avenue, which has seen numerous new buildings sprout up in recent years, still has its share of blight and vacancy. A couple years ago, we

It was a little over a month ago that we told you that plans were in the early stages for a 16-story building at the corner of 34th & Market as part of an expansion effort from University City Science Center, an effort which will also include the rebranding of its campus
