We were taking a peek at the ZBA calendar for next month, and discovered a proposal for five triplexes on a large vacant lot at the northeast corner of 9th & Norris. In an effort to try to find out some more info about the project, we started doing some

Just up the street from our office, we recently noticed a new foundation at the northeast corner of 20th & Kimball. Since we pass by this intersection just about every day, we don't typically think about the changes that have happened here over the last number of years, but seeing

As the stretch of Front Street between Girard and Kensington Avenues has seen a development boom over the last several years, numerous vacant lots and buildings still remain on this 1.5 mile stretch. The former Ninth National Bank at 1952-58 N. Front St. might be the most prominent vacant building

We brought you the exciting news yesterday that a developer was looking to build 30 homes on a huge lot where Amber Street hits Lehigh Avenue, but lacking additional information, we were left to speculate about several of the project details. Seeing our story, the developer reached out to us

So much has changed at the western end of Penn's campus since 2001, when Fresh Grocer opened at the northwest corner of 40th & Walnut. The Radian sprouted on the 3900 block of Walnut, replacing some run down stores and a gross movie theater. A pair of Hub buildings have
