In Northern Liberties

While taking part in our favorite pastime of slinking around vacant lots the other day, we were floored by how different the waterfront portion of Northern Liberties feels today. We are here very, very often, but sometimes even we forget to look up and take in what's happening close by.

Some proposals stand out more than others for a variety of reasons, with location, architecture, and concept can all offering the potential to leave a deep imprint on our development psyche. While the first two definitely could be the case at 626-30 N. Delaware Ave., it's the concept here that
