After all of our recent visits to the area, there couldn't possibly be more development in progress along lower North Broad Street, could there? Oh, there most certainly is, this time at 813 N. Broad St., at the corner of Broad & Parrish. We checked out this former gas station

The 700 block of Latona has plenty that's going for it. It's a quiet South Philly block that's a bit hidden due to its narrow nature, but it's extremely close to so much of the action that the city has to offer. Passyunk Avenue sits just a couple blocks away.

Back in 2018, we took you to 2110 Walnut St. in Rittenhouse, where a surface parking lot and the earliest remaining of Frank Furness' buildings were to morph into a mixed-use condo project, with a modern addition designed by Cecil Baker + Partners. That project is long since completed, and

Don't you love an acute corner? They don't happen too often in our grid-heavy city, but certain avenues (Passyunk, Germantown, Frankford, Lancaster, etc.) create some pointy lots that lead to some wonderfully unique buildings. Ridge Ave. is one such street, winding its way NW across the city from its Wood

After we visited two side-by-side properties on Vine St. the other day, we decided to gather our thoughts (and snag an iced coffee) at the now-finished LVL North project on the NW corner of N. Broad & Spring Garden. As we grabbed our seat, we were facing the surface parking

While checking on the many projects in the works near 30th Street Station, we made one final stop at 3201 Cuthbert St., just slightly to the north, to visit a project we last told you about a little over a year ago. A gorgeous new lab building was planned for

This spring, we took you on a magical mystery tour of development, with our final stop coming at what we called "Lower Northern Liberties." For alliteration's sake, we couldn't help today but to shorten the area to "SoNo" - or "Southern Northern Liberties." We wince as we type it out,

Lehigh Ave. is one of North Philadelphia's major east-west axes, traversing much of the city as it shifts from industrial to residential and everything in between. The far eastern edge of the thoroughfare (we'll call it east of Aramingo Ave. for today's purposes) feels strikingly different than most other sections,

Just the other day, we went to check on the progress of Schuylkill Yards, where the recently completed Avira apartments have started to welcome residents to this formerly empty pocket of University City. But this is far from the only project happening in the area. In fact, you have to
