In Chinatown

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,

We've visited 10th & Arch countless times over the years, mostly thanks to the now-closed Trocadero Theatre. We're still slightly devastated that we can no longer stage dive at the Troc, the former opera house/theatre/burlesque club/iconic punk venue that operated just to the northwest of this corner for over a

You might recall, just last week we told you about a pair of new buildings on the 200 block of N. 12th Street. In case you don't remember the story, the tldr version is this: developers purchased two long vacant lots on this block which have been used by the

A few years back, we told you that a rather skinny surface parking lot at the southeast corner of 12th & Vine would be redeveloped by local developer Callahan Ward into a six-story apartment building with views of I-676. And we must give credit where it's due, the development team,

A historic building that was once the home of the Methodist Episcopal Board of Church Extension and more recently art collective Space 1026 could soon undergo a rather massive evolution. 1026 Arch St. is a pretty awesome building which is difficult to photograph because of the sizable tree out front.

Almost five years ago, we had a story about the northwest corner of 12th & Vine, sharing some upcoming plans. The corner was, at the time, a surface parking lot, having been used as such for decades. Next door at 1209 Vine St. was the Jarvis Building, a handsome edifice that

932 Arch St. has certainly experienced a strange decade. We first covered this property back in 2012, sharing the news that the one-story building would be growing by five stories, with the newly renovated building containing 20 apartments and some office space. It didn't take long before construction got started,

You love Trader Joe's but you hate waiting on line. This is a quandary for many Philadelphians, since long lines are almost as synonymous with this supermarket chain as happy employees and Trader Giotto's tomato sauce. With just one location in town at 22nd & Market, a trip to Trader Joe's sometimes

We've checked in on the huge property at 814 Spring Garden St. a couple times over the years, each time predicting redevelopment for this building, which was a Fedex terminal for a long time. Back in 2012, we told you about a plan to build a three story addition to

If you've been near 10th & Vine of late, you've surely noticed the major project under construction on the northwest corner. We first covered this project, the Eastern Tower Community Center, waaaaaay back in the summer of 2011, but it wasn't until the end of last year that the project
