A Facebook post yesterday caught our attention, as it shared the news about a new corner grocery store planned for Point Breeze. 1713 McKean St. has been sitting vacant for many years, despite the total renovation of the former Abbott Dairy building next door. It turns out, the building is

A neighbor reached out recently, wondering about 827 Carpenter St., a one-story garage that's just steps from the hustle and bustle of the Italian Market. This property has caught their attention of late, as a two-story addition has appeared atop the building. New addition at 827 Carpenter St.Perhaps the people who

Back in 2014, we first covered an interesting development case at 245 S. 45th St., where an old derelict Victorian rowhome was being torn down and replaced with a fifteen unit building, taking up another vacant parcel next door. We then checked back in on the project last summer to

Most of us still think of the northwest corner of 4th & South as Lickety Split, even after the folks from Bar Rescue stepped in a couple years ago to create Alleged Pizza on the first floor at 2nd State Lounge upstairs. None of that matters anymore, with both businesses closed

Getting in the ground for the Museum Towers II project took quite some time, so it's a little jarring to see that construction is moving along so rapidly. It was back in 2012 that we first told you about plans to replace a surface parking lot between 18th & 19th,

Developers are building new homes and renovating vacant buildings at an accelerating pace. MM Partners is doing their thing. Ditto Westrum, with over a hundred new apartment units

Bella Vista and Queen Village are a mess right now thanks to a bunch of road work, but the 500 block of Bainbridge Street was closed today thanks instead to real estate development. Two projects are simulaneously under construction on this block, and they're rather different from one another. First,

We don't often find ourselves in the Fairhill section of Philadelphia, which likely explains why we've never encountered 2809 Germantown Ave., a wonderful building originally constructed for the Mutual Trust Company bank.Amazing buildingAnother viewAh, just look at that facade.
