In Fishtown

When we last checked in on the corner of York & Amber back in February, two Postgreen homes had just been framed out. Dubbed the Snapback Project, these homes are designed by Interface Studio Architects and have some unique exterior (and interior) design characteristics. When we passed by this corner the other day, it

A week ago, we passed the corner of Amber & Susquehanna in East Kensington on our way back from the waterfront, and noticed a 3-story building under construction at the corner. This is an intersection we've visited repeatedly in the past, as it's home to the 100K House, which received

Last week, when we were coming back from a jaunt to the Northeast, we spotted a rehab project at 2119 E. Cumberland St. that we were previously unaware of. We noticed the building all the way from Frankford Ave., as its uncommon appearance drew our eyes off the road in

In Fishtown, a former print shop next to I-95 that's been vacant for a few years is slated to be transformed into 15 new residences, provided the ZBA approves.

A reader checked in a couple of weeks ago, and gave us the heads up about two new homes approaching completion across the street from the nearly finished Norris Point homes. 2135 E. Norris St. was previously part of a rather large vacant lot/green space, but has now been appropriated

Unbelievably, we haven't visited the 1200 block of Crease Street since last October. Back then, we updated you on seven homes that were under construction and gave you the lowdown about a fourteen home development that was just getting underway. As you might imagine, the passing of time has resulted

When we last checked in on Norris Point last fall, four of the planned ten homes had been constructed and were still being completed inside. We were in the area last week, and noticed that the project has taken advantage of the time that's gone by, and all of the

Developers will likely move forward to the ZBA with their plans to construct two four-story homes on Allen Street, according to Matt Karp, Fishtown Neighbors Association (FNA) zoning chair. The project at 131-33 Allen St. was opposed by the community in a meeting last month, with height being the concern. The lots
