In Chinatown

It was back in December when zoning documents hinted that the property at 225-39 N. 13th St. had plans for 81 units of some variety. We anticipated a seven-story structure with ground level commercial space, but the "visitor accommodations" in the zoning document left some wiggle room in our understanding

Chinatown has been an under-the-radar development hotbed as of late, with proposals in the works, a contentious landmark in store for a reinvention, and the small matter of a potential 76ers arena at the current home of the Fashion District. None of this really comes as a surprise (sports arena

For over five years, we've been following the up and downs at 800-30 Vine St., where a city-owned parking lot bound by Race, Vine, 8th, and 9th Streets was tapped for redevelopment. Years ago, we told you that the Equal Justice Center was planned at this location. Had it happened,

The surface parking lot at 800-30 Vine St. is one that has had high hopes for a while, including back in 2017 when the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority issued an RFP for a socially conscious development of the site. This was a first for the city, as they asked for proposals

If you've been reading Naked Philly for a while, you know we like to check in on the Sixers from time to time (or as often as possible). After an April Fool's tease, we reported on a potential waterfront arena for the Sixers at Penn's Landing two summers ago. In

In December of last year, we had a busy couple of weeks on 12th Street in Chinatown. First, we filled you in on two projects already underway at 225-27 N. 12th St. and 245 N. 12th St., just down the block from each other. We had elevations at the time,

We've visited 10th & Arch countless times over the years, mostly thanks to the now-closed Trocadero Theatre. We're still slightly devastated that we can no longer stage dive at the Troc, the former opera house/theatre/burlesque club/iconic punk venue that operated just to the northwest of this corner for over a

You might recall, just last week we told you about a pair of new buildings on the 200 block of N. 12th Street. In case you don't remember the story, the tldr version is this: developers purchased two long vacant lots on this block which have been used by the

A few years back, we told you that a rather skinny surface parking lot at the southeast corner of 12th & Vine would be redeveloped by local developer Callahan Ward into a six-story apartment building with views of I-676. And we must give credit where it's due, the development team,

A historic building that was once the home of the Methodist Episcopal Board of Church Extension and more recently art collective Space 1026 could soon undergo a rather massive evolution. 1026 Arch St. is a pretty awesome building which is difficult to photograph because of the sizable tree out front.
