You may remember five years ago when we reported about the sad state of an apartment building known as The Croydon. In 2012, we enthusiastically reported that this old beauty would finally be restored and filled with residents by a partnership between Orens Brothers, Hillel Tsarfati and Kfir Binnfeld.Finally, at the

Just yesterday, we were telling you about five new homes coming to 6th & Jefferson, and we wondered whether we'd soon see other projects nearby, in the western section of South Kensington. It didn't take long. Shortly after our post went up, a reader gave us the heads up about

The 1200 block of N. 28th Street has seen some changes since we visited last summer. At that time, a four-unit building, a triplex, and a duplex were all under construction. All of those projects appear to be finished, but some other projects are now underway, as you might expect

We've seen heaps of development close to Front Street in South Kensington lately, but today we turn our gaze to the western edge of the neighborhood. The last time we visited 6th Street, we had news of several multi-unit buildings under construction, improving a long-blighted stretch between Thompson and Master

There's a section of the 4600 block of Sansom Street between 46th Street and Farragut Street that's been rather bleak for at least the last decade, probably going back many more years. A single building on the south side of the block has survived the passage of time, with two huge

The last few years have brought significant changes for the Studebaker building at 667 N. Broad St., and the next couple of years will bring even more changes. In 2011, the Ridge Avenue men's shelter closed its doors due to in part to an effort from HUD to move away from

We're unapologetically pro-development here at Naked Philly (we're owned by a real estate developer, after all), but every now and then we encounter a project that we struggle to get behind. Such is the case at 1857 N. Willington St., where a new triplex is currently under construction. Developers bought

We actually thought we wrote about this project before, but when we were researching our story from earlier this week about three new homes coming to 7th & Morris, we realized we'd never shared the news that new homes are coming soon to the 600 blocks of Moore and Pierce

When we first visited the 1100 block of S. Syndenham Street back in the fall of 2013, we were very excited to share the news that a blighted building would get renovated and that developers would soon build two new homes. This was particularly noteworthy because at that time, the

A reader gave us the heads up the other day about some construction activity on the 3600 block of Spring Garden Street, a block that has somehow escaped our attention over the years. The construction we discovered was taking place at a three-building apartment complex at 3608-3612 Spring Garden St. with
