In Northern Liberties

In Northern Liberties, N. 3rd Street is already a developed area home to a number of quality establishments like The Abbaye and North Third. Just south of those at 613-25 N. 3rd St., developers are looking to get in on some of the few remaining developable locations in this area

We've covered projects in Northern Liberties large and small, and have suggested that as vacant land becomes more scarce, developers will start to look for more and more out-of-the-box locations to build. We confess, we wouldn't have expected to see a project rise at 82 E. Laurel St., but that's

We last checked in on 927-29 N. Orianna St. last summer, when two new units were under construction there. These two homes, with rear-access parking were replacing two old three story structures. While the new homes from Callhan Ward are certainly fancier than the buildings that were here before, they lack a

A few years ago, construction started at 807 N. 2nd St. on a unique looking four-story mixed-use building. Then, after much of the exterior work was finished, work stopped. Two summers back, we spotted renewed construction activity at the site, with some new windows installed. Commenters confirmed that workers were

Almost two years ago, we first told you of plans for five new homes at the northwest corner of 3rd & George. This prominent site is currently home to an ugly one-story garage and some vacant lots. To be honest, we kind of figured that the project from a couple

We were winding our way through Northern Liberties earlier this week and we came upon two new homes we didn't know about previously. 504 and 506 Cambridge St. can be found on a narrow street and are easily missed if you're driving up 5th Street. The homes are unique on

Eyes on the street. It's a simple concept that animates a neighborhood and helps keep it safe. So when developers look to build with designs that will take occupants’ eyes off from the street, some civic groups are, at times, less likely to support a proposal that steers away from
