The 1000 block of Reese Street is a carriage-sized road just north of Washington in between 5th and 6th Streets. The entrance to this teeny block is on Carpenter Street, across from a string of new row homes. And about three quarters of the way down this block is where a

While you can debate the virtues of gambling dens in downtown Philadelphia until the cows come home, you can't argue with the fact that Sugarhouse is trying hard to make a name for itself outside the world of slot machines and blackjack. One such effort is the Sugarhouse Outdoor Summer

Back in February, we heard about plans for a new Rita's Water Ice at 2124 South St., a commercial space that was most recently home to a bike shop but has been vacant for over a year. Though SOSNA gave their approval to the proposal, it's been a bit of a longer

When we last brought up 1919 Market Street about six months ago, we told you that the mixed-use project planned by Brandywine Realty Trust would be delayed indefinitely. This was a bit of a bummer, as this parcel in our central business district has sat vacant for over two decades. But

In the past couple of years, we've told you about eight apartments that went up at 19th & Cecil B and another twenty units that were built a block to the east. Just a few weeks ago, we told you about another large project that's on the way for the 1800 block of Cecil B

Last week, we told you about a proposed development on the 1300 block of Chadwick Street from OCF Holdings. This block is currently about two-thirds vacant, with a staggering amount of empty space on the eastern side of the street. Should this project get neighborhood support, we'll see twelve new

The baroque-styled structure at 615 S. 6th St. has long attracted the curiosity of passersby.  Until just this past month, the building housed a modestly-sized mall of antique vendors.  By far the most intriguing relic was the building itself though.  According to Phila Place, the building was built in 1905 as Chevra B’nai Reuben,

Driving in or out of University City via the Spring Garden Bridge can be a glimpse of development to come.

First, there's the fenced-in vacant lot at 31st & Spring Garden that plays home to a black and white sign that's apparently been there for years. We shared plans for that
