A few months back, we told you about plans for five structures coming to the corner of 7th & Thompson. We expected to see the buildings go up along 7th Street, but when we were in the area the other day we noticed that they were in fact rising along

When we last checked in on the southeast corner of 12th & Lombard, the unfortunately named Pain Center had just been demolished in preparation for the construction of six new homes. As spring has changed to summer and now summer prepares to exit stage right, the new homes have slowly risen

For years, the 941 Theatre on Front Street played host to various arts and music acts. Now, at the site where the Vampire Legends of Sodom once showed at the theatre during the Fringe Fest and local filmmakers previously showcased their films, exercise enthusiasts and gym goers can show their

It seems that every time we visit South Street West, a new business has opened up its doors. Just a couple of weeks ago, we spread the good news that Rita's had finally opened on the 2100 block. And there appears to be hope that Ron's Ribs will be making

It seems that as it gets tougher to find land to develop in Northern Liberties, so too is it becoming more challenging to craft projects that the Northern Liberties Neighbors Association (NLNA) zoning committee will support at first blush. Last week, we told you about a proposal on Poplar Street

Yesterday, we mentioned Wood Street, one of the few cobblestone streets left in town. Last week, we were traveling down another cobblestone street, Trenton Avenue, and spotted a new construction project on an adjoining block. Currently, two homes have been framed out at 2147 and 2149 E. Sergeant St., formerly

In Logan Square, construction on the 227-unit Granary Apartments at 20th & Callowhill, is nearing completion. So far, sixty tenants have moved in with more coming soon. The building was developed by Pearl Properties and designed by DAS Architects to be a blend of old and new, industrial and modern, and
