In South Kensington

It was almost a year ago that we drew your gaze to the northeast corner of 8th & Thompson, noting plans for a large residential development with 71 units on a parcel that was being used as a surface parking lot. Initially, we considered the possibility that this would be

It was back in May that we drew your gaze to the southwest corner of Hancock & Thompson, where developers were working on an eight-unit condo building. We were shocked though, because every unit was under agreement even though the building was still months away from completion. We now see

We just told you about a possible Trader Joe's coming to Leithgow & Bainbridge, and now we're going to look a couple miles due north, to the corner of Leithgow & Thompson. This property has been sitting vacant for a number of years, even as South Kensington has experienced a dramatic

The north side of the 700 block of Lehigh Avenue is home to a suburban style shopping center with a Save-a-Lot, a Family Dollar, a Kicks USA, and a Burger King. Generally, we wouldn't care for such a shopping center, as we prefer smaller businesses that are integrated into the

It was a little over a month ago that we checked in on Liberty Square, the major mixed-use project that's under construction on the property bounded by Germantown Avenue, Thompson Street, and N.

This property is currently a collection of warehouses that have been used for industrial purposes

Traveling down Front Street the other day, a sign caught our eye on the building at 1600 N. Front St. offering it up as a development opportunity. When we snapped a photo of the building and the aforementioned sign, we figured we'd share that the property is listed for sale and recommend

We were making out way into South Kensington the other day, and happened to spy a 'For Sale' sign on a building at the awkward intersection of Germantown Avenue and Thompson Street. Back in 2012, we wrote about a couple of properties at this intersection, noting that the vacant building at 1301-03

South Kensington has seen all kinds of development over the last few years, and as we told you earlier this week, there are some pretty significant projects still in the pipeline. Through it all, the former Gretz Brewery at 1524 Germantown Ave. has been sitting vacant and blighted, a reminder of what so
