2100 Lombard St. is a very desirable property, located on the edge of Fitler Square and just a few short blocks away from the heart of Center City. And yet, for whatever reason, this property has been building free since at least the 1940s and has been used at a

Student housing will seemingly continue its inexorable march up into Mantua, as plans are coming down the pike for the redevelopment of a large site on the 3300 block of Fairmount Avenue. We can't say it's altogether shocking that such a project would be forthcoming, given the amount of new

A couple weeks ago, the Philadelphia real estate and sports worlds were both abuzz as we learned that the owners of the 76ers were one of the groups vying for the privilege of redeveloping the sites on either side of Penn's Landing in a project that would relocate the team to

The Aretz family moved to N. 4th Street in 1995, at a time that Northern Liberties looked rather different than it does today. The Piazza was still years away. 700 Club and Standard Tap hadn't yet opened their doors, and the first show at the Fire wouldn't happen for four more years.

A few days back, we covered some of the ongoing projects happening in Roseville, AKA the area northwest of Penn's campus that's seen an explosion in new construction over the last several years. Today we have a few more projects to bring to your attention, starting with a giant development on

Given its prominent Bella Vista locale, you wouldn't necessarily expect a whole lot of change on the 700 block of Carpenter Street. Despite experiencing a few huge projects in recent years, this neighborhood is incredibly well established and we simply don't see that many development opportunities around here. Sure, maybe

We were making our way through Northern Liberties the other day and stopped in our tracks as we approached the corner of 4th & Poplar. 907 N. 4th St. has been a vacant lot for a very long time, decades at least, but a new home has appeared here in

Over the past several years, numerous multi-unit projects have been built in and around University City. The reason behind this is a no-brainer- the proximity to multiple universities, the easy access to transit, and the developer-friendly zoning combine to make an ideal situation for builders who intend to target the

Last Chance Lounge was a corner bar which had a nice run at 1800 W. Girard Ave., though it closed its door permanently a few years back. Looking through some old permits, we see that the building was used as a tavern and tap house for a very long while, at least since

The intersection where Broad Street meets Washington Avenue should be a trophy intersection in Philadelphia, a proverbial corner of Main and Main. It took a step in the right direction a couple years back when Lincoln Square opened at the northwest corner, adding hundreds of apartments, a supermarket, a Target, a liquor store,
