In Fishtown

Last month, we told you about the Cumberland Point Townhomes, three homes under construction on E. Cumberland Street just steps from Aramingo Avenue. Somehow, we missed another ongoing project just a couple blocks away. Until quite recently, 2534-36 Gaul St. was a vacant lot. But today it's a different scene.In the pastTwo new homes

For awhile now, we've had our eye on a large vacant lot where Berks and Hewson Streets meet Wildey Street right next to I-95. We first came here three years ago, with plans for thirteen homes over two different projects, five of which were going to have garages. But that plan never

It's no shock to see development these days in the neighborhoods represented by Fishtown Neighbors Association, East Kensington Neighbors Association, and Olde Richmond Civic Association. And while construction seems constant on corridors like Girard Avenue and Frankford Avenue, Aramingo Avenue often seems like the forgotten street in the area. And

A little over a year ago, we visited the 1300 block of Crease St., a narrow street that runs between Thompson St. and Frankford Ave. and possesses an array of homes with varying architectural styles. Parking is king on this block, and most homes either have garages or large driveways.

Trenton Avenue has six new homes on the way. The intersection of Blair Street with Trenton Avenue creates a "flatiron-shaped" parcel, and that's where AGA Developers are currently building a project called Trenton Stables. You may recall, these are the same developers that have been building the Frankford Square project

Konrad Square Park is a lovely patch of green space in Fishtown, just a couple of blocks from the bustling Frankford Avenue, but a fair distance from Girard Avenue. While it's always a pleasure to walk through this park, it's a special treat this time of year, with temperatures rising

A former Kraut House in Fishtown just off Delaware Avenue could soon be razed to make way for eighteen single-family homes, pointing to the continued residential resurgence in a formerly industrial area near Allen Street in Fishtown. This is an area where several projects have occurred, but this would be

Two years back, we openly wondered about the blighted Edward Corner building, located at the corner of Delaware Avenue and Shackamaxon Street. At the time, we determined that Core Realty owned the property, but couldn't figure out when or if they'd be bringing the building back to life.The building, a

Before the New Year, we told you about plans to transform a vacant lot/garage combo at 1123-27 Earl St. into 14 single-family homes. That project was supported by the community and approved by the ZBA in February.Across the street, the Fishtown Neighbors Association supported plans for 17 units and ten parking spots at

Last summer, we told you that the former Pilgrim Congregational United Church of Christ at 1401 Marlborough St. was under agreement at a list price of $750K. At the time, we speculated that any buyer stepping in at that price point would likely be demolishing the handsome building, likely in favor of
