In Rittenhouse

When you consider that 1907-15 Walnut St. has been sitting vacant since the 1990s, any news indicating that the property is a step closer to getting redeveloped is cause for celebration. That being the case, we've got our party hats in hand, as the Civic Design Review packet for this property has

The northeast corner of 22nd & South was home to Omega Pizza for as long as we can remember, offering neighbors a remarkably mediocre slice and a surprisingly diverse, if somewhat overpriced selection of beer to go. Omega Pizza was definitely a throwback, the likes of which would never open at

The 2100 block of Walnut Street is one of the most desirable in town, and yet for years 2110 Walnut St. was sitting vacant, used as a surface parking lot. This represented a great development opportunity, though nobody ever took advantage for whatever reason. Roughly two years ago though, developers

The 12K+ sqft property at 29-31 N. 19th St. has a funny shape, strongly resembling a thumbs up. The thumb, in this case, is a small amount of frontage on 19th Street, while the fist is a larger space on Ludlow Street. Until roughly six years ago, there was a small building

We don't know much about the history of the building of 2207 Chestnut St., but we do know that we walked, biked, or drove past it on dozens of occasions without paying it any mind. In other words, it's not the kind of building that grabs your attention by any

During the current development boom, Philadelphia has seen some of its embarrassing long term vacancies finally get filled in. And so our heart sings every time we go past Lincoln Square at the northwest corner of Broad and Washington or the "Fergie Tower" on the 1200 block of Walnut Street.

10 Rittenhouse has been a fixture on the northern end of Rittenhouse Square for several years now, so it's easy to forget the boondoggle surrounding its construction. The project was originally supposed to get underway in 2005, which would have meant its completion in 2007 into 2008. That would have been difficult timing,

For roughly 60 years, the Sidney Hillman Medical Center stood as a Modernist landmark on the 2100 blocks of Chestnut and Sansom. You're probably aware though, that Sidney Hillman was demolished a few years back, replaced by the 2116 Chestnut apartment building. We were happy with the swap of the

If you haven't gone past the intersection of 22nd & South recently, you might not realize that a new five-story building is making some nice progress on the northeast corner. 2145 South St. was home to Omega Pizza for more years than we can remember, offering the rare combination of mediocre pizza

On July 14th, we told you that the City was preparing to sell Health Center No. 1 at Broad & Lombard, through an RFP process. This was exciting news, as the property covers roughly 40K sqft of very prime real estate with a favorable zoning designation. Further, the Goldenberg Group owns the former World
