Do you want to be a real estate developer? Have you got an appetite for vacant land on Grays Ferry Avenue? Do you dream about owning a property that's immediately next door to a meat wholesaler? Buddy, have we got the property for you. Consider, if you will, 2701 Ellsworth

Roughly three years ago, we told you that developers had purchased 1009 S. 3rd St., which had been home to Love Kingdom Fellowship Church for a few years, and before that the Nazareth Baptist Church for a few decades. The building was constructed, we believe, in the early 1980s, and was designed by Harold Wagoner,

We've covered 943 Washington Ave. a couple times in the past, wondering if and when this underused property might level up. Back in 2013, we discussed the history of the buildings at this site, sharing that they had been constructed by a coal company in the early 20th century before

There's a four-story building at 2501 Oakford St. which was obviously constructed for industrial purposes, hearkening back to a time in Philadelphia's history when manufacturing played a prominent role in the local economy. The building was constructed in the early 20th century as a factory for Howard Clothes, a men's clothing

The shopping center at the northeast corner of 2nd & Christian sticks out like a sore thumb at this Queen Village corner. After all, this neighborhood is one of the gems of Philadelphia in terms of architecture, and is home to countless beautiful townhomes and numerous examples of older buildings

Broad Street just south of Washington Avenue has a few different projects under construction at the moment. At Broad & Alter, work has proceeded on a 53-unit mixed-use building which suffered a delay of a couple years between presentation and groundbreaking. A 62-unit building at Broad & Ellsworth has moved at blazing
