Another day, another mansion project. Just yesterday, we showed you renderings of the four homes planned on 3rd Street, next to the historic Salvation Army building in Society Hill. Today we turn our attention to Fitler Square, where developers have purchased 235 S. 24th St., a building that housed Penn

That faint buzzing you hear is the background might just be the sound of development in South Kensington. Or maybe it's a lightbulb that needs to be replaced? But assuming it's the former, let's consider that this neighborhood has seen tremendous growth in recent years, with projects big and small

We're probably subscribed to every community group e-newsletter in town, and on days we're willing to sift through the neighborhood minutiae (lost cat! found dog! parking is getting tougher! neighborhood wine tour! school bake sale!), we commonly find out about development projects that will be coming before the community. It

More mansions are coming, and they're not in Old City for a change! They'll be rising, uh, like two blocks away from Old City! So yeah, arbitrary neighborhood borders aside, some more giant homes are coming soon, and they'll be a stone's throw from some of the other top-of-market projects

It was just a few days ago that we told you about a Fishtown church getting converted into a funky office space for a structural engineering firm. At the time, we commented that it seems we rarely cover construction or renovations for new office space. And yet here we are

When PHA built a bunch of one-story homes in the southern part of Francisville in the early 1980s, they surely would not have guessed that developers would be buying up those homes and building condo buildings in their place just a few decades later. But that's exactly what's been happening

We were zipping around Fishtown the other day and happened upon some construction activity at 11 W. Thompson St., right near Frankford Avenue. Saint John's Memorial Baptist Church had made its home here for quite some time, but the building dates back to the 1800s when it was built for

We've had our eye on the 100 block of Alter Street for many years, and for good reason. In the last decade or so, this little block with Washington Avenue views has seen ten new homes get built, with a bunch more constructed around the corner on 2nd Street and

Compared to a few years ago, the Graduate Hospital neighborhood doesn't see nearly as much development activity these days. And yes, that makes for much less exciting community zoning meetings, but it also means that fewer neighbors are disturbed by construction noise. So we'll call it a push. It's not

Earlier today, the zoning agenda for next week's South Philadelphia HOMES meeting got posted to Facebook and we spied a project that we would not have expected. 2438-48 Federal St. sits right next to the 25th Street viaduct but developers have the 20K sqft property under agreement and are looking
