A little over a week ago, we shared news about two large projects on the horizon for the east side of the 1200 block of N. 27th St., just around the corner from the improving Girard Avenue commercial corridor and across the street from the church-turned apartments North Abbey project.

Given the proximity to both Broad Street and Washington Avenue, you'd think that 15th & Federal would be one of the best corners in Point Breeze. Even though we've seen a bit of construction on the 1100 block of S. 15th St., this intersection remains several steps behind the other

We were pretty sure that 1244 E Colona St. had already been redeveloped, and were therefore quite surprised to see it listed on a Fishtown Neighbors Association Zoning Committee agenda earlier this month. We first brought this property to your attention over three years ago, when the oddly shaped parcel included a

This is generally a very a positive thing, since small surface parking lots

We keep waiting for the first domino to fall on the western side of Washington Avenue, and it now seems possible that 2501 Washington Ave. could be the first. The property is vacant today, but big things are coming. Probably.Current viewWe've covered this property a few times previously, first back

A reader tipped us off about three buildings currently under construction at 2337-41 W. Thompson St. on the Brewerytown/Sharswood border, and we had a funny feeling we'd been to this block once before. And it just so happens that we have been here! A couple years back, we covered some

Almost three years ago, we told you that the Philadelphia Housing Authority was looking for a partner to develop their former headquarters on Chestnut Street. PHA moved out of the building at 2012 Chestnut St. a little less than a decade ago and it has been sitting empty ever since,
