In Point Breeze

If you read this blog with any sort of regularity, you know that we cover tons of development on the northern end of the Point Breeze neighborhood. Despite the dozens of new homes that have been built in the area in recent years, there is still quite of a bit

Point Breeze generally doesn't see many new businesses opening up. Remember, we were stoked when a dry cleaner (currently closed, reopening next month under new management) opened a year ago at 16th & Federal. So you can only imagine our surprise and excitement when we read Meal Ticket's report that

Just a couple of months ago, the only reason you'd go to Washington Avenue was for tile, lumber, or to possibly get run over by a forklift. Last month, NextFab Studios and Cafe L'aube opened in a combined space on the 2000 block, bringing new uses and new energy to

While peering at the monthly zoning calendar, we spotting three applications for demolition then reconstruction in the Point Breeze neighborhood, all on the same block. Fundamental Investment Group LLC purchased 1925, 1930, and 1944 Titan St. a couple of years ago. From what we can tell, two of the homes have

A reader gave us the heads up that 1308-10 Point Breeze Ave. is currently under construction.

In August, a long-vacant commercial space and a trash-strewn lot became a shiny new cafe and a landscaped garden space at 20th & Federal. In the months since, two new residential projects have sprouted from the ground in the immediate vicinity, and are progressing at roughly the same pace. We've

We last checked in on the Northstar Point Breeze homes at 20th & Dickinson almost a year ago, when they had just been framed out. As you can probably guess, these affordable homes have been finished in the time that's passed, and have been on the market since April. All

The other day, a reader wondered about some construction activity at an odd-looking building on the northwest corner of Broad & Tasker. We'd noticed this building in the past and remember it as a WIC office, but always assumed that it was built for some other purpose.

We did some research,

A reader checked in a couple of weeks ago, wondering about some construction activity at the southeast corner of 15th & Dickinson. We did a little investigating, and here's what we found:

According to an old listing from 2004, the first floor previously contained a store and a check cashing place.

When we last checked in on 1148 and 1150 S. 15th St. back in August, new fencing had recently gone up, indicating the possibility that work would finally begin on the site after months of delays. Which was a good thing, because these blighted properties were bringing down an already
