We last covered the Garden Court Plaza building in early 2018, at which point we provided a little bit of history regarding the property on the northwest corner of 47th & Pine. A refresher, the building was commissioned in 1926 by Clarence Siegel, the developer that was responsible for many other buildings

We found ourselves on the 1600 block of Brown Street the other day, diverted there thanks to some street closures in Francisville. As we were making our way down the block, we noticed some vacant lots right in the middle of the north side of the street which we didn't

Waaaay back in 2011, we pointed out 1009-11 S. 9th St., a surprisingly vacant and (at that time) overgrown lot in the heart of the Italian Market. It was unbelievable that such a thing could exist in this vibrant pedestrian shopping area, and it was all the more frustrating that it

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.

The southwest corner of the Moyamensing Avenue and Moore Street intersection is home to a rather unusual arrangement of buildings. At some point in the early part of the 20th century, a company called Kamis Engineering occupied a large warehouse that started at the corner and wrapped around a few homes, only

In the 1950s, 52nd Street was a destination commercial corridor in West Philadelphia, home to multiple movie theaters, jazz clubs, and enough stores that people in the neighborhood rarely needed to travel to Center City to do their shopping. Like many commercial corridors in town, 52nd Street fell on hard

About a year and a half ago, we told you that developers were planning a new project at 1121 N. Delaware Ave., a roughly 4-acre site on the Delaware Waterfront. This property, if you can't picture it, sits right between the ongoing but slow moving Views at Penn Treaty project and the artist

Back in 2017, we brought 2035 E. Lehigh Ave. to your attention, noting that the property was listed for sale for $5M. At that time, Paramount Auto & Truck Sales was utilizing the gigantic 177K sqft parcel, as they had for the previous decades. This use made all kinds of sense for
