Philadelphia Real Estate News
Back in December of 2019, we told you about a garage that was being demolished on Berks St. just west of Front St. At that time, no construction permits had been issued, but a zoning variance had been granted in 2016 that gave approval for a 32-unit building on the industrial-zoned (I-2) site at 171 Read more about 28-Unit, Mixed-Use Building Rising in Kensington[…]
Almost 2 years ago, we told you about an adaptive reuse project called the Gotham Tower at 2000 N. 2nd St. in Norris Square. This 100+ unit redevelopment, which includes 2 retail spaces, is now nearing completion and looks fantastic. We had the opportunity to tour the site a few months ago and it looks Read more about 18-Unit Mixed-Use Project Moving Forward in Norris Square[…]
More than 18 months ago, we told you that permits were issued to demolish a 1-story warehouse and to construct a 50-unit mixed-use building on Frankford Avenue in Fishtown across from La Colombe. That building is now topped out and the brick facade has been installed. News recently broke that a real estate office and Read more about 21-Unit Mixed-Use Building Proposed in Fishtown[…]
Development in Brewerytown stretches much further north than the large projects you see along the West Girard Avenue commercial corridor. If you travel the streets above Girard Avenue in this section of the city, you’ll find a ton of infill boutique multi-family and single-family new construction projects. Block by block, Philadelphia continues to be rebuilt. Read more about Columbia Theater to be Demolished to Make Way for 18-Unit Building[…]
It always surprises us how rough some blocks of Callowhill are. The neighborhood is a stone’s throw from Center City and has a ton of amazing loft-style buildings, yet most of this area feels like an industrial wasteland. That being said, Callowhill is still one of our favorite neighborhoods in the city and we believe Read more about Construction Permits Issued for 30-Unit Mixed-Use Building in Callowhill[…]
The east end of Girard Avenue in Fishtown has traditionally not been the most glamorous retail corridor in the neighborhood. There are a ton of underutilized and vacant storefronts along this strip, especially as you get further away from Frankford Avenue. However, we have seen significant change over the last five years. New stores, restaurants, Read more about 53-Unit Building Proposed on Site of Beer Distributor in Fishtown[…]
Point Breeze has seen a ton of development over the last ten years. However, sizable mixed-use buildings are few and far between in this neck of the woods. Point Breeze Avenue is a great commercial corridor, so it is surprising that we have not seen more development on this strip as townhouses have been built Read more about Permits Issued for 42-Unit Mixed-Use Building on Point Breeze Avenue[…]
There are some major projects planned on Delaware Avenue on the blocks just north of Spring Garden St. Demolition is nearly complete for the 462-unit mixed-use project near Delaware and Frankford. Plans have been presented for the redevelopment of Festival Pier, which will include more than 500 units. Zoning permits were issued during the summer Read more about Construction Permits Issued for Part of 488-Unit Project in Northern Liberties[…]
We must be unconsciously craving a taquito as 711 has been on our mind all day. This morning, we reported on a 28-unit redevelopment plan on the site of the 711 in Queen Village. Now, we move our attention to Fishtown. The one-story 711 building and surface parking lot at 23 W. Girard Avenue, which Read more about 97 Units to Replace Fishtown 711 Near Front and Girard[…]
We always thought the strip mall on the northeast corner of 2nd and Christian was out of place among the otherwise pedestrian friendly neighborhood of Queen Village. The low-rise building and surface parking lot never made much sense to us on such a large, commercial mixed-use site. However, with 711 (and at one time WaWa) Read more about 28 Units Planned on Site of Queen Village Strip Mall[…]
