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[…]
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.

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[…]
We’ve been hearing about the redevelopment of the 24,306 square foot parcel just north of Girard Avenue at 1222 N. 2nd St. for more than 4 years. Back then, the area was much different and there were not many large-scale new developments north of Girard. However, over the last several years, hundreds of units have Read more about 64-Unit Mixed-Use Project Finally Proceeding in Olde Kensington?[…]

Iron Stone leased the property back Read more about 48-Unit Project Planned on site of Hospital at 8th and Girard[…]
