In Chinatown

As we were writing about the upcoming project at 10th & Spring Garden yesterday, we visited the Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation website to see whether the organization had posted any info about how the community responded to the project. We came up empty on that front, unfortunately. But we did

Maybe six weeks ago, we told you that developers had purchased a surface parking lot and a building on the southwest corner of 10th & Spring Garden, and were planning to build an eight-story mixed-use building. This was exciting to us in a few different ways. First, we're always pleased

A reader reached out to us the other day, wondering about some ongoing construction near the corner of 10th & Arch. We seemed to remember writing about something in this neck of the woods previously, and wouldn't you know it, we have! A couple times, as a matter of fact.

The Liberty Title & Trust Building at 101 N. Broad St. was built in 1929, rather unfortunate timing for a bank building. Over the years, it was home to a number of different tenants, with the Water Department being the most recent occupant. That was back in the 1990s though, and the

The property has some good things going for it, like

We were on our way to Reading Terminal Market the other day when a demolition notice caught our eye as we zipped down 12th Street. The notice, along with a Stop Work Order, was posted on 214 N. 12th St., a nice enough building that's ultimately an edifice that we don't think anybody

You've probably driven, biked, or walked past the large property at 212 N. 8th St. countless times over the years, and like us, perhaps you never paid it much mind. Granted, we're generally predisposed against surface parking lots, but given the location of this property on the edges of Chinatown

It was just a few months ago that we told you about Chinatown Square, the food court concept planned for 1016 Race St. in a space that was home to Shanghai Bazaar for many years. At the time, it looked as though the place needed a ton of additional work, a rough
