In Northern Liberties

While the Delaware River Waterfront is one of our favorite places to hang, the area hasn't always been the most welcoming. As recently as a few years back, Philly's less heralded waterfront prominently featured a collection of empty lots, broken up by an occasional random business or small building, with

It's no secret that Northern Liberties and South Kensington are absolutely exploding with development. Even sizable projects can almost disappear in the maze of cranes and construction crews in the area, but we are happy to say that 342-54 W.

We have found ourselves at the site of the former Festival Pier many, many, many times over the last year or so, as updates and progress in this rapidly developing area have kept us busy. A reminder, this project at 501 N. Columbus Blvd. will bring 470 units and 11

Thankfully, a majority of the construction in the area is now completed, with through-streets now open again, along with landscaping and hardscaped paths below and
