We brought you to the 1000 block of Wood Street a couple years ago to tell you about plans for several new apartment buildings, noting at the time that the block didn't seem like such an intuitive location for development. With a location mere steps from the Vine Street Expressway,

We've had our eye on the northeast corner of 26th & Poplar for some time, and now it appears that the property is finally getting redeveloped in earnest.We first visited the property a little over two years ago, when we noticed that the owners had pulled permits to add roof
