300 N. Columbus Blvd. has, somehow, been sitting undeveloped for about a century. The property covers about an acre and a half and has been used as a surface parking lot for decades. Before that, it was used a rail yard for the Reading Railroad, dating back to the early

Earlier this year, when we were making our predictions for 2021, we expressed our belief that North Broad Street would continue its upward trajectory this year, with a major nexus at Broad & Girard. We noted several projects ongoing and upcoming in all directions, and also hinted at an unknown development at

One of the largest residential developments in Philadelphia history is currently under construction on the Delaware waterfront. The project is called Northbank, and it's located on a roughly 30 (!) acre parcel at 2001 Beach St., on the border of Fishtown and Olde Richmond. Though the property is under the

Almost five years ago, we had a story about the northwest corner of 12th & Vine, sharing some upcoming plans. The corner was, at the time, a surface parking lot, having been used as such for decades. Next door at 1209 Vine St. was the Jarvis Building, a handsome edifice that

Point Breeze has changed dramatically over the last decade, with many old homes either rehabbed or replaced, and countless vacant lots filled in by new construction. While the shift is obvious everywhere, some blocks really hit you over the head with just how much they've changed. The 2200 block of Wilder Street

It isn't as pretty as you'd like to guess. In your memory you're drunk on your awe to me- it doesn't mean anything at all. Oh comely .We confess, we never really knew what that song meant. But we do know that we always hummed it when we passed by Comly Auctioneers, located

We were making our way back to town the other day from Roxborough, taking Ridge Avenue all the way to avoid traffic on the highway. As we were getting close to Girard, we noticed a construction fence on the 2000 block of Master, covering a sizable swath of the block.

There's a new project in the works at 4401 Ridge Ave., an address that we confess we didn't really think of as having redevelopment potential. Don't get us wrong, the location is great, as it's steps away from the Schuylkill River, about a block from the bottom of Midvale Avenue,
