In Logan Square

In 1964, at the northwest corner of 16th & Arch, the first monument appeared in North America memorializing the Holocaust. The statue was created by sculptor Nathan Rapoport, and sat at the point of the triangle that's created by 17th Street, Arch Street, and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. We don't know what

A couple years back, Pearl Properties built the Granary Apartments on the northwest corner of 19th & Callowhill, adding over 200 units and a collection of new retailers to the area. That building sold a couple years ago for a hundred twenty million bucks. Nice project, if we do say so.

LOVE Park is one of the most prominent public spaces in Philadelphia, surrounded by municipal buildings and serving as a gateway to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Famously, it has been home to Robert Indiana's LOVE sculpture for decades, the site of many tourist photos and countless marriage proposals. It was also

The Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul is a Philadelphia landmark, serving as the principal church of the Philadelphia Archdiocese and striking a stunning architectural presence at the corner of 18th, Race, and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Built between 1846 and 1864, the building is constructed in the Roman-Corinthian

It was almost exactly a year ago that Whole Foods abandoned their longtime home on the 2000 block of Pennsylvania Avenue in favor of a larger, fancier space a couple blocks away in the Dalian on the Park building. Before that move occurred though, Target, uh, already had the former Whole Foods location

We've never paid much mind to the building at 1401 Arch St., despite its prominent location. City Hall, the Municipal Services Building (home of L&I), and 1515 Arch St. (home of the ZBA and other City offices), are all very close by, so we've certainly had countless opportunities to think

The huge surface parking lot at 23rd & Cherry has always struck us as a little odd, considering its prime location on the western side of the Logan Square neighborhood, with easy access to the Schuylkill River Trail. The site has been subject to a few development proposals over the years, the most

440 N. 15th St. has a ton of potential, considering its large size, its permissive zoning, and its location just off North Broad Street. But it hasn't come close to living up to that potential for a really long time, as it's been used as a parking garage for the Inquirer building

Disclaimer: The following story is pure speculation and we're writing it without any inside information whatsoever. That being said, if any of this comes true, you heard it here first.You might have seen the reports, a couple weeks back, that Paladin Healthcare has a deal in place to purchase Saint Christopher's

It wasn't even forty years ago that developers decided to build an awful modernist building at 200 N 16th St., alongside the similarly horrible Sheraton Hotel. These buildings were constructed as part of the unrealized plan for the Franklintown neighborhood, an effort that resulted in a whole lot of eminent domain activity from
