It was two years ago (but it feels like twenty) that we shared a story that the 76ers would be leaving the Wells Fargo Center at the expiration of their lease, with an eye toward building a new basketball-only stadium at the southwest corner of 30th & Market. Ambit Architecture

It's been over a year since we last visited the south side of the 1000 block of W. Girard, so it's time for a couple significant updates. Before we look at the present and future though, let's just provide a quick reminder about the history of this property, in case

We were passing through Old City the other day and noticed what looked like construction activity at 200 Quarry St., a property that's been vacant for a number of years. Despite its recent empty run, the building has a rich history and dates back two centuries, and for much of the

A small corner of Logan Square is currently experiencing a massive transformation, and it's all thanks to the folks at PMC Property Group doubling and tripling down on their holdings in this part of the city. As you may recall, this developer is currently building the Riverwalk project, which consists of two towers

A guy named Buckley built a garage at 621 Reed St. back in 1915 and liked it so much he decided to put his name on the front. Though the first floor has been used fairly consistently as a garage over the years, the upper floors were converted to a
