If it feels like we're still basking in the glow of the recent groundbreaking for the Park at Penn's Landing, it's because we most certainly are. It was only a few weeks ago that we took you to the groundbreaking for this long-awaited park, excited for what the future would

Not to toot our own horn (Warning: toot toot!), but there are not many sizable properties in Greater Center City that we haven't visited over the years. But lo! As we were making our way about town, we found ourselves at the large, fenced-off property at 730 W. Girard Ave.,

As we were exploring the bustling retail scene along Ridge Ave. in Francisville, we couldn't help but notice another project we last checked on back in the Fall of 2021. At 1609 Poplar St., nestled between Ridge & Girard Ave., 21 units were going up across four floors, along with

Is there any better way to celebrate the Phillies clinching a wild card birth than by making a swing by the happenings in Francisville? We couldn't think of any, so we decided to make a stop along Ridge Ave. to check on things, thanks to a recent zoning permit that

1830 N. Broad St., sitting on the west side of Broad in the middle of Temple University's campus, isn't a property that stands out much at first blush. The western terminus of Polett Walk, this large property consists of fairly non-descript campus buildings along with plenty of recreational fields for

It's been a week of highs and lows for Temple University, with their first Top-100 ranking in the U.S. News & World Report slotting our favorite North Philadelphia educational institution at the 89 spot. Sadly, this good news was paired with the tragic and sudden passing of Temple's interim president,

After checking out the progress of a 460+ unit, multi-building project along the Delaware River Waterfront, we couldn't help but run it back. All we had to do was scoot north past the Residences at One Brown to find a shockingly similar concept that is also transforming this sliver of

While the Delaware River Waterfront is one of our favorite places to hang, the area hasn't always been the most welcoming. As recently as a few years back, Philly's less heralded waterfront prominently featured a collection of empty lots, broken up by an occasional random business or small building, with
