In Loft District

The east side of 13th Street between Hamilton Street and Buttonwood Street has changed dramatically over the last decade, and the last undeveloped property on this little block is now poised for redevelopment. Back in 2011, we shared a unique building at 449 N. 13th St., noting the unusual look of

A reader reached out to us recently, wondering about 1231 Vine St., a property with terrific views of I-676. The question stemmed from the fact that construction started here back in 2017 and only wrapped up at some point in the last few months. That's a pretty reasonable construction schedule for

Let's take a narrow definition of Center City, and arbitrarily draw the boundaries from South Street to Spring Garden, river to river. Sounds like the most desirable real estate in Philadelphia, does it not? One would think that every square inch of Center City would be in high demand and that anyone would

As we've said on more occasions than we can count, we are none too fond of surface parking lots. Of course, there are worse things out there than surface parking lots, like storage facilities, slaughterhouses, power plants, and coal yards. 1201 Callowhill St. then, is a rare case where a

When we think of Toll Bros., we think of condos. Projects from this developer in Philadelphia have included Naval Square, Stamper Square, 2400 South, and a now under construction tower on Jewelers' Row.

We stumbled onto a row of new construction recently at the intersection of 9th & Noble and had a funny feeling we'd written about the project before. As is usually the case when we have these feelings, we have indeed covered this project before, back in 2016, when the property

There's a new apartment building under construction at 1111 Ridge Ave., a five-story edifice that will have 18 units and commercial space on the first floor. Construction is moving along pretty well, with the exterior fully framed and the windows already installed. We couldn't tell you what business to expect on

Journey with us, if you will, to the Naked Philly vaults, and revisit a story from eight years ago, about the Pennsylvania Ballet moving from their home in East Falls to a new location on North Broad Street. The dance company, which also has an associated school, purchased a pair of

If you're traveling through or near Callowhill, there's a new building under construction that's quite eye catching. Sure, any construction in any part of town makes our radar bleep, but this particular project would draw the attention of even the most oblivious phone gazer due to one very specific characteristic-

The boundaries of the West Poplar neighborhood are from 9th Street to Broad Street, Spring Garden to Girard, but the northern and southern sides are quite different. Above Fairmount Avenue, PHA owns the vast majority of the land and the Richard Allen Homes cover most of the area. South of Fairmount,
