In Northern Liberties

A one-off project on the alley-sized 400 block of Myrtle Street is one of many projects in a few blocks radius in Northern Liberties. The 5th & Poplar intersection is one we've covered a great deal, and in the past few years, dozens of units have come online in the area.Myrtle

When Tower Investments built the Piazza several years ago, they capped the northern end of the development with the Rialto building, a seven story commercial building with a restaurant on the ground floor. At the time we thought it was a swell idea, and we thought that commercial tenants would

Paesano's in Northern Liberties is on the move—only a small relocation, just next door, acutally.

Philaplace gives a lovely telling of the history of this stretch, and explains that a combination of white flight and a redevelopment plan from the 1950s that never came

A couple of years ago, we were very pleased to bring you the news that the former Pride of the Sea warehouse at 4th & Brown was being demolished, and that new homes would rise in its place. We're generally bummed when handsome old churches or row homes come down

Back in the summer of 2012 we told you that Penn Herb, a leading herbal remedy store, would be demolishing their store and several other buildings at 2nd & Green and replacing them with a new building that would contain a new flagship store and fourteen apartments. By November, the
