It's been a bit of a slow burn on the southeast corner of 15th & Walnut, where a new building is finally rising after years of planning. We first told you that three buildings on this corner would be demolished back in 2012, and brought you a rendering of the

It was more than a year ago that we first broke the news that a bunch of new homes were soon to rise on the 2100 block of Walnut Street at the intersection with Van Pelt Street. Back then, developers from Conservatory Group USA had presented plans for the construction of
