In Rittenhouse

2100 Lombard St. is a very desirable property, located on the edge of Fitler Square and just a few short blocks away from the heart of Center City. And yet, for whatever reason, this property has been building free since at least the 1940s and has been used at a

While we recognize their necessity, we're none too fond of parking garages. And when those parking garages are located in prime locations and aren't very large, we find them all the more irksome. Take, for example, the parking garage at 1608 Sansom St., a three-level building which takes up maybe

Try to think back just a few months, to the beginning of this year, when we shared the fabulous news that 2222 Market St. would soon get redeveloped from a surface parking lot into a 19-story office building. That was five months ago, but in 2020 time that feels like it

It was one year and three days ago that we shared the news that Freeman’s Auction House would be moving out of its home at 1810 Chestnut St. after nearly a century, in favor of a new space at 24th & Market. We told you that Astoban Investments would be redeveloping the property, maintaining

Let's say you're an important business person living in New York or Washington or Boston and you take Amtrak into Philadelphia for some kind of important business meeting. On a day like today, you're arriving at 30th Street Station and hopping in a cab or an Uber to get right to your destination.

A little more than two years ago, we told you that Health Center No. 1 would be moving out of its digs at 500 S. Broad St. after roughly six decades, and that the City planned to sell off the 40K sqft parcel to the highest bidder. This was huge news,
