Earlier this week, developers presented to a very small crowd at Weccacoe Playground Building for the monthly QVNA zoning meeting. On the agenda was the redevelopment of 512-14 S. Front St., a long-vacant lot that's been used for parking for years. The lot wraps around the building next door, extending

In West Philly, particularly on the blocks surrounding the Baltimore Avenue commercial corridor, we’ve talked more about large scale mixed-use development, business openings and community planning than smaller scale new construction projects. Think Apple Lofts and Croydon, or the unique West Philly stories about projects about the Dirt Factory and saving Saint Bernard Garden. Or questions about

Back in the summer of 2011, we told you that the Philadelphia Boys Choir and Chorale would be making a move from their home in a building on the edge of Drexel's campus to a repurposed warehouse building on the 1500 block of Parrish Street. At the time, it seemed like a nice addition

Last week, PIDC, the citywide economic development agency and master developer of The Navy Yard, and Mayor Nutter celebrated a big milestone for the region: 10,000 employees at The Navy Yard. PIDC also took this opportunity to release the anticipated Master Plan Update, planned by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, with

We've told you on several different occasions about Philadelphia 2035, an effort to divide the city into eighteen districts and pursue a comprehensive planning process for each. We're obviously development junkies and planning is certainly one of our realms of interest. But it's not for everyone, and the folks behind

As you're probably well aware, many Queen Village residents have the pleasure of basically living next door to I-95. As such, Queen Village Neighbors Association (QVNA) was granted the right to create a community parking lot several years ago under the highway at Front and Christian Streets, according to Jeff Hornstein, QVNA

Yesterday, we noted some long-vacant properties on the on the 1300 block of N. Carlisle St., just a few blocks from Temple's campus. Today, we look just a block and a half to the south, to revisit a project we first told you about last spring. At that time, we
