Pretty much adjacent to I95, we spotted 'For Sale' signs at 1027 Marlborough St., in Fishtown. This building, from what we can tell, was built in the 1950s, years before the highway was constructed. Looking at a WPA Land Use Map from 1962, and looking at a current street overlay,

While Drexel University works to expand its capacities and improve its reputation with projects like the construction of a new business school, and new housing at the $97.6M Chestnut Square, it’s also looking to better its capacities for community outreach.

Nearly a year ago, we told you about 1412-14 S. 7th St., a surprisingly large and totally unattractive former auto shop that's been vacant for years. At the time, we wondered whether someone would eventually purchase it and perhaps turn it into a giant house or perhaps apartments.

The developers hope to demolish the existing

The 2500 block of Montrose St., located off of Grays Ferry Avenue and pretty much next door to the less-than-picturesque Veolia Plant, is a block that's experienced some development recently and is set for significant change in the coming years. Back in March, we told you about three condo units under

We've had our eye on a development at 1233-35 Bainbridge St. for over a year now, first telling you about the project when demolition began on a building that was a houseplant wholesaler in a former life. As the months passed, demolition begat construction, which begat finish work, which begat

We've told you about several new hotels coming to Philadelphia over the past few months, but today we're going to tell you about a rather old hotel. Well, the hotel itself isn't so old, but the buildings that house it are older than some dirt you'll find around town. Shippen

Perhaps inspired by the new zoning code, the Center City Residents Association (CCRA) has been working through a strategic planning process over the past year. They’ve conducted research and hosted numerous community meetings to accomplish this goal. But more than simply coming up with a vision for development, like parks and retail, CCRA
