In Temple Area

In recent weeks, we've profiled two shuttered Philadelphia schools which are currently available for sale through a cooperative effort with PIDC. Twenty schools are available in all, but we've chosen to only highlight the properties that we deem as the most interesting redevelopment candidates. As the deadline to submit a

During a recent trip through the neighborhood next to Temple, we stumbled upon some ongoing demolition on 15th Street just north of Master Street. Looking at the remaining structure at 1415 N. 15th St., we guessed that an attractive brownstone stood here previously.Building is going awayLooking at the handy dandy

As recently as 2011, the northwest corner of 16th & Montgomery was a desolate place. One home with a creepy mural was surrounded by so many vacant lots. It should come as no surprise that all the lots on this corner were owned by City agencies.Just a couple of years

A couple of months ago, we brought a new project on the northeast corner of 15th & Master to your attention. At that point, it was framed to three stories. Checking back the other day, it's been fully framed to four stories, and brickwork is getting started. When it's done,

Almost a year ago, we told that 746 W. Master St., the building that formerly housed the unfortunately named Foot's Star Search Lounge, had been demolished.

As new student housing has exploded in the area surrounding Temple University, we've seen new attention come to Cecil B. Moore Avenue west of Broad Street. Larger projects, like eight units at 19th & Cecil B, and twenty units at 18th Street are joined by smaller projects, like the faux-mixed-use buildings on the 1700

On the southwest corner of Broad & Somerset, pretty much between Temple University and Temple Hospital, sits a very cool building. A couple of years ago, it contained a kitchen supply store and looked pretty awful. More recently, Broad Street Beer Distributor opened here, and cleaned up the building some.

Last week, we told you about a new hole we spotted near 17th & Diamond that will soon turn into new student rentals near Temple. Today we have some other projects to tell you about nearby, buildings which we would also wager will eventually contain Temple students. First, we look
