It was May of last year when we told you about the huge plans from National Real Estate Development and Kushner Real Estate Group, which would revitalize a sad length of 2nd Street between Spring Garden and Callowhill. National is the team that brought us the nearly complete East Market

Perhaps you'ave heard this over the last couple of years, but the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted so many aspects of life, and real estate was no exception. With the new prevalence of working from home, office towers in central business districts (CBDs) across the country have seen less use, as

Here at Naked Philly, we try to maintain a positive perspective in the face of demolition, inappropriate land use, uninspired design, and/or imperfect construction resulting from value engineering.

North Broad Street has been referred to as Automobile Row in the past, given the density of auto showrooms and warehouses that once lined the blocks between Spring Garden Street and Girard Avenue. Many of those glorious buildings are no more, but cars sure feel like they're still the guests
