In Brewerytown

Look out, Girard Avenue has two new mixed-use buildings on the way. And these buildings are coming at the expense of some solid, if unmemorable old buildings that have housed who knows how many businesses over the years. First, let's consider 2613 and 2615 W. Girard Ave., which are located

We last visited the 26th & Poplar intersection about a year ago, when we told you that construction was getting started on the northeast corner on a pair of mixed-use buildings with a combined 12 units and 3 retail spaces. We were thrilled that the property was getting redeveloped, but

We've visited the 1300 block of N. Marston St. a couple of times over the years, both times promising some major change on the horizon. In 2015, we showed you three rehabs on the western side of the block and speculated that the former industrial buildings across the street could

Wow, MM Partners. That didn't take long at all.

We were killing time in Brewerytown the other day, randomly looking for anything of interest while awaiting a Rybrew lunch meeting. On 29th Street, we discovered a double-wide property with a 'For Sale' sign, and snapped a couple of photos with the plan of investigating later. Later has come, and now

The 1500 block of N. Stillman St. is way up into Brewerytown, three blocks from Girard Avenue and closer to the PHA Sharswood construction than it is to most of the market rate development in the area. Despite this block being a little off the beaten path, Design Pro Development

We were zipping around Brewerytown the other day, sniffing out some leads, when some recent demolition caught our attention at the southeast corner of 30th & Thompson. We've written about this property several times in the past, first in the summer of 2013, when we learned it was changing hands and
