In Graduate Hospital

It's been over a year since we last wrote about 1600 Carpenter St., also known as the Hoa Binh Plaza. For those that don't recall, this property runs all the way to Washington Avenue, but doesn't include the hard corner of 16th & Washington, for whatever reason. A warehouse was constructed

Though it feels like seven years ago (thanks COVID), it was only seven months ago that we shared some upcoming development news for the southeast corner of 19th & Bainbridge. As we told you then, the Foreign Mission Board (FMB), a non-profit which operates numerous mission stations in Africa, the Caribbean, and

A reader reached out to us the other day, worried sick about a demolition notice they'd spied on an old firehouse in Grad Hospital. Firemen haven't hung their hats at 752 S. 16th St. for a number of years, as the building was converted into a quadplex somewhere along the line, but the

Back in January, we shared the latest iteration of plans for 2101 Washington Ave., a huge property more commonly known as the Chocolate Factory. It's known as such because Frankford Candy, the largest marketer of licensed confections and gifts in the country, was located there for decades, before moving to the Northeast about

The Graduate Hospital neighborhood is probably the poster child for gentrification in Philadelphia over the last twenty years. Turn back the clock to the end of the Clinton presidency, and this neighborhood was home to over a thousand vacant buildings and lots. It's a very different story today, as you could probably

For decades, a religious non-profit has occupied a double-wide and unassuming building at the southeast corner of 19th & Bainbridge. The foreign missions arm of the National Baptist Convention, the Foreign Mission Board (FMB), operates numerous mission stations in Africa, the Caribbean, and Central America. Though the group's mission is primarily missionary in

Frankford Candy is the largest marketer of licensed confections and gifts in the country and if you've ever eaten a chocolate bunny around Easter, it was probably made and/or distributed out of their sizable facility in the Northeast. Before moving there in the early 2000s, Frankford Candy was located much closer to

Non-profit Brandywine Workshop bought 730 S. Broad St. roughly 40 years ago, a purchase that included a historic double-wide building, a beat up warehouse, and a sizable vacant lot. According to a story from Hidden City, the historic Italianate building on the property was designed by architect Samuel Sloan and dated back to 1849. It was

The triple-wide building at 2031-35 Washington Ave. has a decidedly backward looking approach to the corridor on which it sits. This two-story industrial building stretches all the way to Kimball Street and dates back at least over half a century. For many years, a tire business occupied the majority of

As it has gentrified over the years, the Graduate Hospital neighborhood has become a bedroom community, of sorts, for downtown Philadelphia. Historically, and similar to other South Philly neighborhoods, there were numerous corner commercial establishments in Grad Hospital, but as the years have rolled along, we've seen quite a few buildings shift
