In Rittenhouse

Nobody would argue the point that Delancey Street in Center City is one of Philadelphia's ritziest addresses, which makes the perpetual blight at the corner of 18th & Delancey all the more striking. We first brought 325 S. 18th St. to your attention almost five years ago, but we've had

A number of readers have reached out in recent weeks, noticing increased construction activity at the northwest corner of 22nd & South and wondering what's going on. Some history- L2 restaurant made its home here for over fifteen years, closing in 2013. In the summer of 2014, we heard rumblings that

Another day, another mansion project. Just yesterday, we showed you renderings of the four homes planned on 3rd Street, next to the historic Salvation Army building in Society Hill. Today we turn our attention to Fitler Square, where developers have purchased 235 S. 24th St., a building that housed Penn

Almost without exception, the block features three-story Greek Revival rowhomes that date back to the years before the Civil War. We're not usually such big believers that architectural repetition equals beauty but

We last visited the intersection of 15th & Walnut about half a year ago (from a writing perspective that is - we've probably walked or driven or biked past this intersection dozens of times in the last six months), when renovation work was getting underway at 1501 Walnut St. and construction was still ongoing

We were so excited a couple weeks back when we shared renderings of Southern Land Company's latest proposal for 1911 Walnut Street, a plan that would transform a long-vacant lot that sits across the street from Rittenhouse Square. At the end of last week, the developers sent out a press

When we last last visited the Boyd Theater on the 1900 block of Chestnut Street about six months ago, we told you that plans for a boutique movie theater had fallen through and that Pearl Properties had purchased the old movie palace. At the time, we were pleased to learn that
