The northwest corner of 20th & Carpenter has been through some serious changes in the last decade. Turning back the clock to 2007, the building at the corner was a vacant mess and 922 S. 20th St. next door was a bodega with a well-deserved reputation for drug dealing. Though some

Perhaps inspired by our story about a new five-story building under construction on the southeast corner of 15th & Ogden, a reader tipped us off this weekend about more development coming soon at 15th & Parrish. We feel a little silly dragging you here just a few days after we covered a

A reader tipped us off recently about 126-32 Dickinson St., a large Pennsport property that's currently available for sale. Passing by the property, you can see a two-story building and a fenced area on Dickinson Street and you'd never imagine that the property spans over a quarter of an acre.View

A reader reached out the other day, having spied zoning notices at 1172-74 S. Broad St. and wondering what's afoot. This building was home to a car dealership back in the day, and the rear of the property has been a dialysis center for the last few years. The front

There's some development brewing on and around the 4600 block of Sansom Street. Last summer, we visited this block to check in on a row of prefabricated apartment buildings.

The 2400 block of Frankford Avenue is perhaps best known for being the home of Philadelphia Brewing Company, makers of Kenzinger and other tasty adult beverages. While many other blocks of Frankford Ave. have seen tremendous infill development over the years, this block has maintained a higher level of vacancy.

Our first visit to the 1500 block of N. 16th St. came several years ago, when we discovered a stucco box apartment building filling a vacant lot next to an architectural gem. We were cheered back in 2014 when we learned that a larger apartment building was under construction next door,

Neighbors across South Philly breathed a huge sigh of relief a few years ago when plans for a Foxwoods casino at 1401 S. Columbus Blvd. fell through. In the time since then, the lot has continued to sit vacant, and about a year ago we learned that Bart Blatstein had

Some of the buildings at 109-131 N. 2nd St. had been there since the 19th century, but they took on a distinct personality in the 1950s when the National Products Company clad the first floors in orange tile. Looking like nothing else in Philadelphia, the property received historic designation in
