It's been a big year for the 1400 block of Frankford Avenue. Turn back the clock twelve months, and 1420 Frankford Ave. was home to Bicycle Stable, 1426 Frankford Ave. had a large warehouse that was at one point a cellophane factory, and 1434-42 Frankford Ave. was a big empty

The little lot at 108-110 Titan St. was easy to miss. It was so easy to miss, the Redevelopment Authority probably didn't think they'd face any opposition as they planned to sell it to developers back in 2012. But it turns out that a group of neighbors were in the early

It's been almost half a year since we told you about Perry World House, a project at 3803 Locust Walk on Penn's campus, and as you can imagine there's been some considerable progress since then. A reminder, this building will be a great resource for International Relations majors and will

As the weather has improved and your inclination to stroll around town has grown, perhaps you've noticed that the northeast corner of 16th & Walnut is now a construction site. After bricks from the adjacent building crashed through the roof of Lululemon at 1527 Walnut St. a little over a year

Yeesh, another project for Washington Avenue? Yup, here comes a third consecutive post about this major artery whose development has been mostly arrested since the factories and coal yards moved away. A reader apparently saw our story yesterday about plans for a new mixed-use building at the corner of 12th

A month can be an eternity when a project is still in its planning stages.Remember, about a month ago, we attended a SOSNA meeting at which developers presented a preliminary plan for the redevelopment of 2501 Washington Ave., a large property that's served as a combination of parking lot and

About a year and a half ago, we told you that 1200 Washington Ave. was available for sale for $1.2M and encouraged anyone and everyone to step forward and buy it. This property, which sits next door to our car wash of choice and around the corner from Nam Phuong, has
