Back in 2018, we took you to 2110 Walnut St. in Rittenhouse, where a surface parking lot and the earliest remaining of Frank Furness' buildings were to morph into a mixed-use condo project, with a modern addition designed by Cecil Baker + Partners. That project is long since completed, and
Read MoreDon't you love an acute corner? They don't happen too often in our grid-heavy city, but certain avenues (Passyunk, Germantown, Frankford, Lancaster, etc.) create some pointy lots that lead to some wonderfully unique buildings. Ridge Ave. is one such street, winding its way NW across the city from its Wood
Read MoreAfter we visited two side-by-side properties on Vine St. the other day, we decided to gather our thoughts (and snag an iced coffee) at the now-finished LVL North project on the NW corner of N. Broad & Spring Garden. As we grabbed our seat, we were facing the surface parking

Read MoreJust the other day, we went to check on the progress of Schuylkill Yards, where the recently completed Avira apartments have started to welcome residents to this formerly empty pocket of University City. But this is far from the only project happening in the area. In fact, you have to
Read MoreIt was only back in June when we last provided an update on the proposed 76 Place arena that has plans to rise at 11th & Market where the Fashion District currently resides. New renderings were released, giving more details to how the arena would fit into the area and
Read MoreDespite spending countless hours traversing the streets of West Philadelphia, we haven't spent much time exploring Brandywine Realty Trust and Drexel's Schuylkill Yards as of late.
