Many rejoiced when Wawa opened its doors at the northeast corner of 22nd & South back in April, excited for grocery essentials, hoagies, and all the other stuff that you get at Wawa. Not everyone was so thrilled though, including bicyclists that have been frustrated by the near constant illegal

As much as things have changed in the Rittenhouse neighborhood over the last century or so, the parking garage at the northwest corner of 22nd & Pine has remained a constant. This building has likely caught the eye of just about anyone that's ever walked past this intersection, as it

One Meridian Plaza was constructed at the northeast corner of 15th & Chestnut in 1972, and was originally called the Fidelity Mutual Life Building, in honor of the company that co-developed the property.

The 2100 block of Walnut Street is one of the most desirable in town, and yet for years 2110 Walnut St. was sitting vacant, used as a surface parking lot. This represented a great development opportunity, though nobody ever took advantage for whatever reason. Roughly two years ago though, developers

The 12K+ sqft property at 29-31 N. 19th St. has a funny shape, strongly resembling a thumbs up. The thumb, in this case, is a small amount of frontage on 19th Street, while the fist is a larger space on Ludlow Street. Until roughly six years ago, there was a small building
