In Graduate Hospital

In the Graduate Hospital neighborhood, three dormant corners, all on the same street, are on track to come back into active use in the coming months. Let's move from east to west, just to make it easy to follow.We can remember when 1536 Catharine St. was a lousy looking corner

Though recent years have brought unprecedented growth and redevelopment to the neighborhoods surrounding Center City, some persistent vacancy remains. The biggest and best example sits at Broad & Washington, where two enormous parcels stare each other down on a daily basis, wondering which will be the first to make a

Four years ago, we first brought the former YWCA building at 1607 Catharine St. to your attention, at which point you could have purchased the property for a mere $2.2M. A couple years later, we told you that developers had purchased the building and lot behind it, and were planning

In recent years, South Street West has experienced a major rebirth. New businesses have appeared, as if out of thin air. And vacant lots have disappeared, with mixed-use buildings bringing new commercial spaces and potential customers to the corridor. Even the Royal Theater, South Street West's long vacant jewel, could

The next big thing on Washington Avenue took a step forward last night, as developers presented plans for 2401 Washington Ave. to the SOSNA Zoning Committee. You may recall, last month we told you about their "information only" presentation to the group for a five-story project with 113 apartments in

We've actually been meaning to tell you about this one for months, but it has repeatedly slipped our mind. Dodging a forklift on Washington Avenue last week, we found ourselves on the 1000 block of S. Colorado St., and as soon as we got there we remembered attending a SOSNA
