As we were making our way back from visiting the glimmering Vagelos Laboratory in University City the other day, we couldn't help but swing by the Schuylkill River Trail to enjoy some sun next to the water. We worked our way southward, exploring all the way to the newest area,

We've been harping about Washington Avenue for over a decade, dreaming about its potential while lamenting just how much of that potential remains untapped. Don't get us wrong - the corridor has come a long way over the course of those years, with several new mixed-use buildings rising and new

No matter what you call it, the Greater Eraserhood neighborhood is one of our favorites in the city. Despite its remarkably central location, the area straddling Spring Garden St. - roughly from Broad St. to the west and 9th St. to the east - can feel like its own hidden

It's no secret that the University of Pennsylvania has been building like crazy, with an upcoming performing arts building at 33rd & Chestnut the latest to come down the pike. The Vagelos Laboratory for Energy Science and Technology at 3200 Walnut St. is another example of a new Penn project,

Old City and its built environment have changed so much over the last several hundred years, while also remaining shockingly consistent in some ways. 322-40 Race St. is a shining example of this phenomenon, as it's home to Old First Church, which was built in 1837, a three-story rowhome built

It sure has been a long time since we thought about Liberty on the River, writing about the pie-in-the-sky, ten-tower proposal back in 2017, to only visit it again earlier this year, assuming the project was just a distant memory. Originally calling for 2,000+ units and a hotel, the project

We rarely go more than a few days without hearing about or visiting the action in the greater Old City/Northern Liberties/Fishtown area along the Delaware River Waterfront. And our travels today take us back to 901 N. Front St., which we visited back in December when plans a 96-unit project

As if we haven't been busy enough on the southern end of Frankford Ave., where different projects and potential streetscape improvements are hurtling our way, we have even more good news for a project that we checked in on last fall. The project at 1000-10 N. Delaware Ave. is now

The Rittenhouse neighborhood contains some of the most gorgeous historic architecture in the city, with gobs of early 20th century skyscrapers creating the handsome facades and dense scale that's so familiar to us today. The building at 1411 Walnut St. is a shining example of this, designed by famed architect

We just can't seem to rip ourselves away from Roxborough, where there is an abundance of development taking place of varying shapes and sizes. Much of this development is happening along Ridge Ave., where everything from new, mid-rise apartment buildings to small multi-family to gorgeous adaptive reuse is in the
