It wasn't so long ago that we first told you about plans to demolish engineering labs at 34th & Lancaster and replace them with a large mixed-use student housing building, ostensibly for Drexel kids. About a year ago, those efforts got underway and when we checked back here in January the

Almost three years ago, we first brought you to the corner where Titan Street hits Point Breeze Avenue, to a large parcel that's been vacant for many years. We shared, with excitement, plans for the redevelopment of this lot with a new mixed-use building. We wondered if this development, with thirteen

In February of 2012, we mentioned 932 Arch St. as an aside in a story about a project across the street. At that time, the property, which has a hair salon on the first floor, had received a five-story cinderblock addition. Previously, this was just a very deep one-story building.Back

Earlier this week, we updated you on the three-story building that's currently under construction at 15th & Walnut. As we told you, the steel for the building looks to be wrapping up.Current viewAfter our post went up, a representative from architects Bohlin Cywinski Jackson reached out and provided us with an updated

Yesterday, we posted about the demolition of a former launderette at 21st & Federal, and also mentioned the row of homes under construction across the street. When we passed by the corner in advance of writing that post, the southwest corner, the former Burg's Lounge, was sitting vacant, as it

Perhaps you remember that the other day, we told you about four homes under construction on Chaucer Street in Packer Park, finding this notable because we don't typically see much construction in this neighborhood. It turned out if you recall, that this construction was only happening because of a fire

Just across Broad Street in Francisville, Poplar Street has been host to a flurry of rebuilding. Recently, we spied construction at 1429 Poplar St., a property we actually brought to your attention over two years ago when this project was just in its planning stages. Back then, a blighted building with

In March, we told you about plans for a bunch of apartments on the 1200 block of Noble Street, a block that we'd bypassed in the past on numerous occasions. It actually extends over 13th Street and has an entrance to the Reading Viaduct which should someday be a wonderful

Immediately to the east of the Saint Anthony's Senior Center on the 1900 block of Christian Street, a row of buildings have uglied up the block for quite some time. 1929-33 Christian St. were home to the Christian Medical Center several years ago, but the buildings got some work done

It was all the way back in the summer of 2011 that we first noticed 1201 S. 21st St., a blighted vacant building that had once been a launderette. In the 1950s, the building looked halfway decent, even if it was only one story tall. But in 2011, it looked
