At the northeast corner of 7th & Morris, developers built a trio of new homes over the last year, replacing a surface parking lot. We told you about the project when construction was just getting started, and if you visit the intersection today you'll notice that the homes are finished. One odd architectural

It was almost four years ago that we brought the blighted building at 2539 Grays Ferry Ave. to your attention, lamenting its condition and hoping that it would get renovated or demolished sooner than later. A near neighbor first drew our gaze to the property, informing us that the building had

The property at 1328 N. 5th St. must have been very attractive in its heyday, but we couldn't tell you for sure because it's been sitting vacant and blighted for at least a decade.The good news is that the surrounding area, like so much of South Kensington, has been on the dramatic

It was a little over a year ago that we told you that developers had purchased the long vacant lot at 617-21 Moore St. and redevelopment was on the horizon. We shared the details of the project, that it would include four homes on Moore Street with two of those homes interrupted

We were traveling up Frankford Avenue the other day, after enjoying a tasty lunch at Steap and Grind, and we spied what looked like a construction site in its early stages on the 1600 block of E. Eyre Street. Behind the chain link fence, it looks like something was demolished sometime recently.

There's been a staggering amount of new construction in West Philadelphia over the last several years, as developers have gobbled up vacant land or underused properties and built new student housing. Near Baltimore Avenue, we've started to see this development move past 50th Street. Farther north though, we can't think

Every now and again, we pass along news of a sweet development opportunity and encourage anyone and everyone to consider taking advantage and making an investment. To give you a sense that we occasionally know what we're talking about, let's consider a recent example that worked out very well for

If you're walking up 7th Street between Fitzwater and Bainbridge, you might notice an odd sight on the eastern side of the street. 715 S. 7th St. is a home with no front door. In fact, as far as you can tell from the street, it doesn't have any first floor at

We were in East Kensington over the weekend, trying to snap some photos of new development, but road work diverted us onto Kensington Avenue. This ended up working out nicely, as we stumbled upon some new construction at 2459 Kensington Ave. that we previously knew nothing about. This large property had been

Lou Wolff Auto has made its home at 501 E. Girard Ave., at the corner of Palmer & Girard, since the 1980s. But East Girard has changed dramatically, and a used car dealership just doesn't make much sense on the corridor anymore. It came as no surprise then, at the end
