After a long wait, it seems that 1507 and 1515 Catharine St. could get redeveloped soon. Remember, these properties sat vacant and blighted for many years until the Redevelopment Authority demolished them back in early 2013.1507 Catharine St. in the past1515 Catharine St. in the pastThese properties, along with several

Packer Park neighbors are surely pleased, as a large blighted building has disappeared from their midst. Last year, we brought 3200 S. Broad St. to your attention, mentioning rumors that owners PSDC would soon be demolishing the property. The building, which had sat vacant for many years, had been an

The Mormon temple on the 1700 block of Vine Street has progressed considerably in the last eighteen months, so we figured it would be a good call to provide an update. At last glance, the structure had just begun to rise to the point that it could be seen above

Developers want to build a small apartment building in Fishtown but the neighbors aren't feeling it. A couple months back, developers presented plans at an FNA community meeting to demolish the the H.J. Masonry warehouse at 1217 E. Columbia Ave. and replace it with a new building with eight apartments and six parking

Okay, we admit it, we're on a bit of an obscure block kick lately. Last week, we covered a proposed project at 1225 Annin St. on a block that's certainly not one of South Philly's most traveled. Today we make a return to the 2500 block of Montrose Street, which we

Amber Street in East Kensington is getting more development, we just aren't sure exactly what form it will take. Last week, a reader gave us the heads up that a one-story building at 2319 Amber St. had been demolished. The building was previously home to a car mechanic shop, so

Architecturally, it's a very mixed bag, with a row of newer-looking garage-front homes with driveways, a couple
