In Temple Area

A couple of months ago, we brought a new project on the northeast corner of 15th & Master to your attention. At that point, it was framed to three stories. Checking back the other day, it's been fully framed to four stories, and brickwork is getting started. When it's done,

Cecil B. Moore Avenue near Temple has seen a tremendous uptick in development in recent years. Student housing has exploded on this street, with new apartment buildings replacing vacant land, collapsed churches, and shuttered schools.

Near Temple University, two blocks of Master Street depict the place where blight meets redevelopment. The 1700 block is home to a huge tract of vacant land, several other one-off lots, and a few blighted buildings. Just a block farther west, the 1800 block has five duplexes under construction, a project
