The east side of 13th Street between Hamilton Street and Buttonwood Street has changed dramatically over the last decade, and the last undeveloped property on this little block is now poised for redevelopment. Back in 2011, we shared a unique building at 449 N. 13th St., noting the unusual look of

The Behavioral Wellness Center at Girard takes up the city block surrounded by Franklin Street, Thompson Street, 9th Street, and Girard Avenue, and has a very interesting history as a medical facility. The property was originally operated as Philadelphia Children’s Homeopathic Hospital, which was later renamed St. Luke’s and Children’s Medical

Things are moving fast in the Norris Square and South Kensington neighborhoods. To wit - less than four years ago, we drew your attention to 2000 N. 2nd St., a ten-story industrial building that was occupied at that time by a wicker wholesaler and was originally constructed as a silk

The city block encircled by Walnut Street, 30th Street, Chestnut Street, and 31st Street is one of the more unusual blocks in town, despite its prominent West Philly location. Thanks to the nearby Schuylkill River crossings, Walnut and Chestnut Street slope up, creating an upper level that you've surely traveled any

The 4200 block of Market Street is a bit odd if you ask us, with a real estate mix that one surely wouldn't predict given its close proximity to the University of Pennsylvania. One might expect a whole bunch of student housing. Or maybe some businesses that target the student market. Alternately,

A few months back, we asked you to consider 2740 Amber St. shortly after the project appeared at Civic Design Review. We pointed out the property's history as both a dye works and a scrap yard, noting that its proximity to the freight train tracks that run beyond Lehigh Avenue made it an ideal industrial

We were scanning through the latest zoning permits with the utmost speed the other day, and noticed a number of new zoning permits on a street called Pietro Way. This street was familiar, but we couldn't quite place the location. Thankfully, Google Maps is a thing, and upon looking up

It's been a little over a year since we last checked in on 1400 S. 33rd St., a building which was constructed in the 1930s by Coca Cola for use as a bottling plant. You may recall that at that time, demolition was just starting at the northern end of the

Roughly five years ago, we asked you to consider the ridiculous underuse at the southeast corner of 12th & Sansom, noting that Brickstone had purchased the two-story parking garage at the site but didn't yet have a decision on what to do with the well located property. This acquisition made sense,

The intersection of Frankford Avenue, E. York Street, and Trenton Avenue is one of the most challenging in the city, a rare five corner intersection, with the sixth corner just off to the side. All this chaos is incredibly hazardous to everyone, from pedestrians to bikers to drivers, and will soon result in
