In Port Richmond

It isn't often that we find ourselves on the Port Richmond-Kensington border, having last been to the area all the way back in 2017 to report on a small townhouse project that is long since completed. However, we find ourselves back in the area again as a big project that

Drive on Lehigh Avenue, and it's nearly impossible to miss the huge, muraled wall that sits just past Tulip St. at 2157 E. Lehigh Ave., near the convergence of Fishtown, Kensington and Port Richmond. This hulking wall sits immediately adjacent to Lehigh Ave., with nary a sidewalk separating it from

Our travels take us all over the city, but 2201 E. Tioga St. is located in a corner of Port Richmond that we confess we haven't explored much. The vacant lot at this site sits in a hard-to-define area, where a mix of industrial sites, single family homes, and the

We have been both surprised and delighted by how development has crept up through Fishtown/East Kensington and pushed past the mental and physical boundary of Lehigh Avenue and the Conrail Tracks at the upper end of the neighborhood.

The market served up

A few months back, we asked you to consider 2740 Amber St. shortly after the project appeared at Civic Design Review. We pointed out the property's history as both a dye works and a scrap yard, noting that its proximity to the freight train tracks that run beyond Lehigh Avenue made it an ideal industrial

Yet another former industrial site in the River Wards is poised to transition to residential use, as 2740 Amber St. came before Civic Design Review earlier this month with a significant redevelopment plan which must first jump over some hurdles. This property has been used for industrial purposes forever, with Thomas Dawson

2750R Aramingo Ave. is a huge vacant lot that sits adjacent to the freight lines that separate Olde Richmond/East Kensington from Port Richmond. It's not an accident that it's sitting vacant though- it's served as a buffer between the rail lines and the neighborhood for years, with mature trees mostly

3045 Richmond St. is a bit of an odd property which we would argue has been underused for a very long time. It's positioned on the Richmond Street commercial corridor, right next door to a building that was once a movie theater and has more recently been used as a
