It was just a few days ago that we told you about a Fishtown church getting converted into a funky office space for a structural engineering firm. At the time, we commented that it seems we rarely cover construction or renovations for new office space. And yet here we are

When PHA built a bunch of one-story homes in the southern part of Francisville in the early 1980s, they surely would not have guessed that developers would be buying up those homes and building condo buildings in their place just a few decades later. But that's exactly what's been happening

We were zipping around Fishtown the other day and happened upon some construction activity at 11 W. Thompson St., right near Frankford Avenue. Saint John's Memorial Baptist Church had made its home here for quite some time, but the building dates back to the 1800s when it was built for

We've had our eye on the 100 block of Alter Street for many years, and for good reason. In the last decade or so, this little block with Washington Avenue views has seen ten new homes get built, with a bunch more constructed around the corner on 2nd Street and

Compared to a few years ago, the Graduate Hospital neighborhood doesn't see nearly as much development activity these days. And yes, that makes for much less exciting community zoning meetings, but it also means that fewer neighbors are disturbed by construction noise. So we'll call it a push. It's not

A development on the northeast corner of Broad & Washington could be getting closer. At the very least, it looks like there's continued momentum as the months roll off the calendar. Remember, it was back in November of 2014 that we attended a community meeting to hear Bart Blatstein from

If you've caught a flick at Ritz East lately, you've surely noticed that there's a major construction project happening across the street. For as long as we can remember, 130 S. Front St. has been a surface parking lot, but developers bought the property last year and are now pretty

Gold Star Park is a gem of a little neighborhood park, with a nice run of grass, some older trees throwing off shade (in a good way) all summer, and a playground to keep the kiddies happy. But if you don't live on or around the 700 block of Wharton

Since we wrote about some renovation and new construction activity on Hollywood Street in Brewerytown last week, a couple of people have reached out to us, asking about some other projects nearby. Three additional projects can be found just steps away from Hollywood Street, which tells us that we probably
