We did not see this one coming. We were perusing the ZBA calendar the other day and noticed 3315 Tulip St. among the properties on the list. Upon further examination, we discovered that a developer had purchased this 15K sqft parcel about a year ago for just under $300K and

The other day, we were excited to share the news that a row of vacant lots on Amber Street near Frankford Avenue could be redeveloped, but a reader comment gave us the indication that the proposal isn't coming to fruition. Fear not, it seems a new project will soon emerge

Community groups are the straw that stirs the drink in many neighborhoods, providing services to residents, organizing cleanups, and dealing with all of the aggravation that zoning meetings entail. This and more could certainly be said about the Northern Liberties Neighbors Association, which will be celebrating its 40th anniversary tonight

A mixed-use building at the corner of 16th & Lombard probably isn't long for this world, as there's a proposal on the table to tear it down and replace it with something much taller. 1601-03 Lombard St. is a double-wide building that has been used most recently as a day

The past year or so has brought a whirlwind of change to 5th Street in South Kensington, and since it all seems to be going pretty well, how about a little bit more? Over just a few days during the summer of 2015, we told you about two major projects

It has come to our attention the a row of vacant lots in the Callowhill neighborhood could soon get developed, pretty much around the corner from the office/creative space reuse project we told you about the other day. Developers purchased 430-444 N. 9th St. earlier this year, paying half a million

We last checked in on the 1200 block of N. 27th St. a little over a year ago, noting that a new duplex was under construction at 1210 N. 27th St., next door to the North Abbey residential conversion at 27th & Girard. While the renovated church to the south

For those living in Francisville, it isn't news that the eastern side of the 700 block of 20th Street is a mess, architecturally speaking. A handful of hundred year old homes are still standing on this block and those homes are owned by PHA and go all the way up to the

So we were a little confused when we saw that there was a proposal for 71 new apartments at the northeast corner of 8th & Thompson. In a vacuum, this might seem like the logical next step in the progression of development in South Kensington. We've already covered several projects

We've noticed that developers today are ready and willing to develop any parcel in Point Breeze that they can get their hands on. Looking back a couple of years, we remember when new homes arrived on the 1100 block of S. Sydenham St. and we were pretty surprised that developers
