In Graduate Hospital

For years, the 1000 block of S. 17th Street was objectively terrifying. Blighted, empty, collapsing buildings mixed with overgrown vacant lots created a mise en scene reminiscent of a horror movie. When the City thankfully condemned the homes on the block and tore them down, it was surely a relief

A few years ago, the intersection of 16th & Bainbridge was purely residential. But as South Street West has experienced unprecedented growth, it should come as no surprise that additional commercial development is leaking south, into the Graduate Hospital neighborhood.

You've probably never set foot on the 1400 block of Montrose Street. It's a skinny block that we're pretty sure can only be accessed from 15th Street but is one-way toward 15th Street. The north side of the block is dominated by a row of Universal Court homes, affordable rental

For years, a triplex-wide lot curiously sat vacant on 18th Street, just half a block from Washington Avenue. When developer Vitaly Paluchenko presented plans for three triplexes at 1021-25 S. 18th St. last year, we mostly wondered what took so long.

It was over a year and a half ago that Metroimpact first presented plans to SOSNA to demolish the two northernmost homes on the 1000 block of Bouvier Street and replace them with new three story homes with garages. Since then, 1000 and 1001 S. Bouvier St. have sat vacant,

In March, we told you that a large vacant lot on the corner of Broad & Fitzwater, across the street from 777 South Broad, would soon be redeveloped. The plan was for the construction of eight new homes, representing the third phase of the wildly successful Artisan Homes project. The
