Just over a year ago, we were at Broad & Callowhill, looking both ways and checking out a project known as Hanover North Broad, which is a partnership between Philadelphia’s Parkway Corporation and The Hanover Company which is based in Houston. At that time, the dueling surface parking lots on the southeast and southwest corners were

It's true that Philadelphia boasts numerous edifices that outshine the former New Macedonia Church at 875 Corinthian Ave., but that doesn't mean we won't be sad to see it go. About half a year ago, we told you that developers had purchased this building that's up the block from Eastern

When we were checking in on multiple projects on 27th Street last week, we also noticed some new framing underway around the corner on the 2700 blocks of W. Stiles and W. Cabot Streets. We've visited these blocks before, notably in the fall of 2015 when we described a plan

Desiring a return visit to Pizza Dads, we trekked to Brewerytown with a purpose this past weekend. After destroying a slice, we figured it would be responsible to try to walk off some of the calories and decided to check in on some development projects in the neighborhood. We were impressed

A couple years after a proposal stalled out at 1217 E. Columbia Ave., developers are giving it another shot. Currently, this address is home to a warehouse that's a throwback to a more industrial time in the neighborhood. But looking around the area today, the building doesn't much fit in

The 1700 Market building is set back from 17th Street on its eastern side, creating a public open space that nobody has ever cared about as far as we can tell. It was almost exactly two years ago that the owners of the 32 story building acknowledged as much when

In its industrial heyday, Northern Liberties was a mix of warehouses, factories, and homes for the people that made Philadelphia the Workshop of the World. We're not telling you anything that you don't know when we say that industry has almost entirely dried up in Northern Liberties, as gentrification has
