A little less than a year ago, we visited the 2500 block of W. Oxford St. and discovered a block on the edge of Brewerytown that was full of potential. If we're being less nice, we could alternately say the block looked like crap. The north side of the block

We were perusing the zoning calendar the other day and were suddenly reminded of a project we'd heard about half a year ago, next to the 25th Street Viaduct. The project in question is planned for 1500 S. 25th St., a roughly 30K sqft parcel that runs for the 400

South Kensington has experienced a major wave of development over the last half dozen years or so. The same could be said for Fishtown and East Kensington.

Every six months or so, we direct your attention to the Forgotten Bottom neighborhood, optimistic that it will soon experience a development boom. So far though, it's been a pretty measured pace for development in this little neighborhood west of 34th Street and south of Grays Ferry Avenue. We still

Last fall, we were excited to learn about a plan to renovate the long vacant and blighted Quaker building at 9th & Poplar into a sparkly mixed-use project. We first brought this building to your attention back in 2015, at which point we were hopeful that it would soon come

It was a little over a year ago that we told you about plans for seven triplexes for a large vacant lot on Amber Street, near its intersection with Frankford Avenue. Even though a ZBA hearing was apparent on the calendar at the time, a commenter indicated that the project

Dranoff Properties has built several significant mixed-use projects on South Broad over the last decade plus, including Symphony House, 777 South Broad, and Southstar Lofts.
