Typically, we find out our real estate news from reader tips, careful examination of the zoning calendar, and often hilarious community meetings. It's not so often that we literally stumble upon a project just walking down the street. But that's just what happened the other day when we passed by

Society Hill Beverage is getting a roommate, er, nine of them to be exact. Assuming the ZBA says yes, soon they'll have new upstairs neighbors, as developers plan to build an addition on top of the warehouse at 129-43 Washington Ave. that currently houses the beer distributor. Plans are to build a second

For as long as we can remember, the corner of 36th & Sansom has been vacant. This parcel, on Penn's campus and across the street from the bookstore, hasn't been some unkempt lot like so many we've seen around town, but it's still been a curious vacancy at a high-traffic

About a year ago, we wrote about N. 7th Street between Girard and Thompson, a blighted block in need of a facelift and dotted with potential for development. We were drawn to this block by a project at the corner of 7th & Thompson that was at that time under

Old City is great. It's where America was born! The architecture is wonderful. The stores are plentiful and adorable. There's like a million coffee shops. First Friday is always a good choice. And on a Saturday night in some establishments, it's like visiting New Jersey without having to pay a toll.The

Generally when we cover development in East Kensington, it's on Coral Street or Amber Street, or perhaps on some of the upper blocks of Frankford Avenue. Today though, we look at the easy-to-miss 2600 block of Martha Street, a block which has seen significant changes in the last few years.

The 700 block of N. 19th St. is slowly going through a major change. We've actually visited this block a few times previously, bringing the construction of a duplex to your attention in 2012 and again last year. Of course, the construction of a couple of duplexes isn't typically so

In the last twenty years or so, there's been little change at the northwest corner of 22nd & South. L2 had quite a run, opening there in the late 1990s and closing their doors in the summer of 2013. Prior to that, Russian-themed vodka bar Cafe Republic came and went, and before that a Fifty's-style

While discussions slowly percolate on the future of Washington Avenue, the present continues to change. Tonight at 6pm at CAPA the second public meeting will take place to discuss the Phila2035 South District Plan, a planning document which we understand will include the remapping of both sides of Washington Avenue.

A year and a half ago, we visited the intersection of 12th & Spring Garden and noted the vacancy at both the southeast and southwest corners. Today, it's pretty much the same story. On the southwest corner, there's a burned out gas station. On the southeast corner there's a huge
