When we recently heard about a new project at 4820 Chester Ave., we thought it felt a bit familiar. This property sits right across from the 49th Street Station on the Media-Elwyn line, and something has been in the works here for over three years. We had considered covering it

The pocket of Philly near La Salle University is not an area we typically find ourselves in. It can at times feel cut-off from the rest of the city due to the rail tracks on the southeastern and southwestern sides of the area. Even with Wayne Junction and some upcoming

A surprising number of developments have popped up, ranging from single family homes to residential towers with hundreds of units. The buildings at 160-64 N. 2nd St.

In December of last year, we had a busy couple of weeks on 12th Street in Chinatown. First, we filled you in on two projects already underway at 225-27 N. 12th St. and 245 N. 12th St., just down the block from each other. We had elevations at the time,

This elbow-shaped building was formerly home to Fluehr's Furniture

Philadelphia has a deep connection to the founding of the United States, as some rather important gatherings took place here in the late 1700s, and some dudes in powdered wigs signed a fairly significant document here on July 4th, 1776. This being the case, July 4th is always a great

Boy oh boy, has the area surrounding the Rail Park been undergoing a serious transformation. The newest project coming down the pike will likely appear at 425 N. 11th St., a property that would definitely benefit from an upgrade. Currently a one-story brick building that serves as a warehouse for
