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

A development on the northeast corner of Broad & Washington could be getting closer. At the very least, it looks like there's continued momentum as the months roll off the calendar. Remember, it was back in November of 2014 that we attended a community meeting to hear Bart Blatstein from

If you've caught a flick at Ritz East lately, you've surely noticed that there's a major construction project happening across the street. For as long as we can remember, 130 S. Front St. has been a surface parking lot, but developers bought the property last year and are now pretty

Gold Star Park is a gem of a little neighborhood park, with a nice run of grass, some older trees throwing off shade (in a good way) all summer, and a playground to keep the kiddies happy. But if you don't live on or around the 700 block of Wharton

Three additional projects can be found just steps away from Hollywood Street, which tells us that we probably

It's been a big year for the 1400 block of Frankford Avenue. Turn back the clock twelve months, and 1420 Frankford Ave. was home to Bicycle Stable, 1426 Frankford Ave. had a large warehouse that was at one point a cellophane factory, and 1434-42 Frankford Ave. was a big empty

The little lot at 108-110 Titan St. was easy to miss. It was so easy to miss, the Redevelopment Authority probably didn't think they'd face any opposition as they planned to sell it to developers back in 2012. But it turns out that a group of neighbors were in the early

It's been almost half a year since we told you about Perry World House, a project at 3803 Locust Walk on Penn's campus, and as you can imagine there's been some considerable progress since then. A reminder, this building will be a great resource for International Relations majors and will

We confess, we're amazed by all of the construction happening near Front & Race right now. About a year and a half ago, we told you about plans for ten homes at 120 Race St., then part of a surface parking lot located next to the highway. In general, these
