Last summer, we told you about plans from Carmel Development to build a four story residential building at 1241 Buttonwood St., next door to Prohibition Taproom. We were in the area last week, and noticed that foundations are going in, so we figured this would be a good time for an update...

For years, an embarrassing jungle has been the status quo at 23rd & Brandywine, a corner that's steps away from the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Over a year ago, we first told you about plans from Loonstyn Properties to build four homes at this site and rehab a dilapidated shell that was

When we last checked in on the 2000 block of Annin Street in Point Breeze, three homes were being framed out on the block, and two more were going up right on the other side of 20th Street. A month later, framing is finished on the three homes, and bricks

Preliminary discussions have taken place between developers and neighbors regarding a mixed-use development project envisioned at the southeastern corner of 27th & Girard.

If you keep track of their monthly zoning meetings, you know that Northern Liberties is currently in the middle of a development surge. It seems that every other block has a new project sprouting up like a half-million-dollar weed. Today, we bring two such projects to your attention, near 5th

Today, Market East is a haven for pawn-brokers, check-cashing stands and purveyors of brand name knockoffs. The south side of the 1000 block offers one such decidedly uninspiring mix of storefronts. Simultaneously, this stretch is a reminder of a time when Market Street was one of the nation’s

A few months back, we first told you about a new duplex going up at 712 N. 19th St., on a block that exclusively features one-story homes set back from the street. The duplex looks to be nearly complete on the outside, though we spotted workers on the site, ostensibly

Demolishing churches and replacing them with new construction has been a common practice for developers in the Graduate Hospital neighborhood over the past few years. Mount Olive AME, Metropolitan AME and others have faced the wrecking ball, as dwindling local congregations have led to churches moving to new locales or
