You've probably driven past the corner of 5th & Wood a few times, but it's rather unlikely that you've ever found yourself there while on foot. That's because its location is deceptively remote, despite its Center City location. On three sides, the property is adjacent to highway onramps which connect

Roughly three years ago, we drew your attention to the building at 4102 Lancaster Ave., noting the discount store on the first floor and the metal cladding covering the windows on the upper floors. Nothing about the building's appearance was especially notable, though the metal cladding's red white and blue color scheme did

The industrial history of South Kensington has a number of practical effects on the neighborhood's present. Most obviously, the area is home to numerous buildings that were once used for making stuff, and we've seen several of those former factories converted to residential or commercial uses over the last several

In the spring, we asked you to take a look at 909 Corinthian Ave., noting that MM Partners purchased the five-story building in 2018 and renovated it into 22 apartments. We also shared some of the history of the property, noting that it dated back over a hundred years and was originally constructed as nurse

Perhaps you've noticed, there's a building at 1700 N. Howard St. that looks generally awful, but if you look carefully at the former industrial building, you can tell it's got great bones. And indeed, it has a fascinating history, having been constructed about a decade after the end of Civil War, for use as

Though it feels like seven years ago (thanks COVID), it was only seven months ago that we shared some upcoming development news for the southeast corner of 19th & Bainbridge. As we told you then, the Foreign Mission Board (FMB), a non-profit which operates numerous mission stations in Africa, the Caribbean, and

Unless you live nearby as we once did, we don't know why you'd ever find yourself on the 700 block of Latona Street. But let's just say, for fun, that you stumbled upon this block after a cheesesteak at Pat's at some point in the last couple decades. If that

7th Street, Dauphin Street, and Germantown Avenue all intersect at a point, creating a triangular property to the south which is currently sitting mostly vacant. Historically, a rooming house called the Washington Hotel stood here, operating until the 1970s, when it was torn down. There are some industrial buildings still standing

We confess, we never really paid attention to the home at the southeast corner of 3rd & Walnut. Even though this corner is in historic Society Hill and sits mere blocks from Independence Hall, the home at this address was somehow only built in 1999 on a property that had

We've always been a little confounded by the property at 342 W. Girard Ave., which you might know as the home of Trios Pizza. This parcel is quite large, covering over 8,000 sqft, but the building on the property covers only about half of the land, with the rest used
