While on our Rittenhouse Row retail round-up, we couldn't help but think about all the folks who would soon be patrons of these new businesses. There are numerous proposals close by, including an NYC-like skinny tower at 19th & Sansom. But today, we are focusing on two projects that are

One of the defining characteristics of a great neighborhood is having a commercial corridor that brings the community together while also attracting visitors from well beyond the reaches of its boundaries. N. 2nd. Street in Northern Liberties has long been one of our favorite commercial corridors, and it brings much

If you were to poll everyone in greater Philadelphia and ask them to rank neighborhoods in terms of desirability, we'd be willing to wager that Rittenhouse Square would be near the very top of the list. The famous park, gorgeous architecture, and incredible proximity to the central business district make

If you've been in and around the hospital complex in University City that's home to HUP and CHOP, it's very clear that open space is at a premium. Buildings are squeezing into every open sliver, as land in this pocket has become increasingly scarce. This challenge is prompting some creativity

Back in the frigid days of February, we scouted a single-family home going up right next to I-95 on Callowhill Street, just a short jaunt from Old City, Northern Liberties, and the waterfront. That home has been making major progress, though that's not the reason we're back here today. Let's

North Philly contains quite a number of hulking, industrial gems from the past, and the one at 2100 W. Allegheny Ave. most certainly fits this profile. This was the original home to the Steel Heddle Manufacturing Company and the first section of this building went up in 1919. For those

The corner of 6th & Green has quickly become one of the busiest intersections in the city when it comes to development. The Liberty Square townhouse development at the northeast corner was finished several years ago, bringing large townhomes to an area that had formerly been empty. On the southeast

Allow us, if you will, to take you back to a time about 15 years ago or so, when there were several large proposals for the Delaware River waterfront. If your mental math skills are a little rusty after the long holiday weekend, this would take us back to 2007,

We always keep our eyes and ears open when it comes to development, but it sure is nice when our amazing readers (that's you!) reach out with a tip. This is one of those times, as a reader recently gave us the heads up that the building at 829 Bainbridge

We understand it's not for everyone, but we are suckers for a bulky, Brutalist building. International House at 3701 Chestnut St. in West Philly most certainly fits this description. This 14-story building was completed in the early 1970s and has served as student housing since then. A couple years ago,
