In Francisville

Last week, we checked in on three projects at varying stages of completion on 16th Street in Francisville. Today, we turn our attention to the southwest corner of 15th & Ogden, just a block away. Back in January, we first told you about plans for two homes on this vacant

A couple of weeks ago, an article in the Daily News attempted to tackle the tensions that have arisen in Francisville with the number of new residents that have arrived in the neighborhood in recent years. And it's with an eye toward attempting to defuse some of those tensions that several

Dodging the raindrops (with mixed results) yesterday, we spotted three different projects within a block of each other in Francisville. The three each come from different developers, and are all at different stages of completion. Let's start with the homes closest to being finished, which we've already told you about

When we last checked in on the 35-unit development at 19th & Poplar, the second phase of homes were being framed out, and a large cigarette ad was being used as sheathing. We were in the area the other day and the cigarette ad is gone and construction on the

Last month, we told you about a single duplex under construction at 1743 Cambridge St., on a block that's got more vacant land than homes. Today, we return to this block, not only to update you on the state of this project but also to fill you in on a

It may not be as exciting as the four-story mixed-use development currently being built a block away at 19th & Fairmount, but a six-unit residential project is set to go up in short order at the corner of 18th & Olive in Francisville. A couple of weeks ago, the ZBA

When we last checked in on the 800 block of Opal Street in January, two new homes separated by a garage had just been framed out. In case you've forgotten, these homes were designed by David Traub Architects and were inspired by the Schmidt’s carriage house a couple of blocks away on Cambridge
