Several months ago, we told you about plans for the demolition of another church in the Graduate Hospital neighborhood, this time at the corner of 19th & Catharine. The plan that was presented to SOSNA at the time was for the construction of three town homes in its place, and

Over the winter, we told you about plans for the construction of thirty new homes at 1108 N. Front St., the site of a warehouse fire a year ago. The warehouse, owned by Tower Investments, was a blighted property that was horrible to look at and must have been even

In recent weeks, we've given a lot of coverage to the 5000 block of Baltimore Avenue. We told you about plans for a jazz cafe juice bar and coffee shop on the western end of the block. We gave you the lowdown on Babylon Bistro, a new restaurant coming next

About a week ago, we found ourselves on the corner of 16th & Montgomery, and noted that a mural (with a lousy message for kids) appeared to be on the outs, as it was surrounded by a construction fence. Just to the north, we spotted a collection of still-under-construction multi-unit

About a month ago, we told you about 1010 and 1012 S. 20th St., two long-blighted properties owned by the Philadelphia Housing Authority. Both properties had just been posted with notices from L&I suggesting insisting that PHA perform repairs on the buildings. Of particular concern was the corner property, which

Listed at 819 South St., the parcel on the north side of the constantly changing commercial thoroughfare is today a set of residential units.  But the lot’s history says that the location has seen plenty of change along with its contextualizing street.  Indeed, in an era when South Street was populated by

A couple of months ago, we made our way down 17th Street in Point Breeze, and told you about four projects in different stages of completion. Today, we have an update on one of those developments, and news about two more coming down the pike. Looking back to May, the
