A small retail component would be nice. I know a Giant is coming down the block, but a key to creating dynamic development is some sort small commercial component. |

I used to live about a block from this corner for several years in the 90s. I actually found it to be a convenient location and quieter than the rest of Old City. |
*checks notes*
Old City reaches ... 23rd Street now? |
Have there been any developments in Philly that have used (or proposed to use) mass timber or cross-laminated wood panels? I was just reading this New York Times article about the topic that touts the lower green house gas emissions and labor costs, albeit materials appear to be higher cost at this point. This isn't a brand new technology, but it certainly appears to be catching on with developments projected to double annually.

I believe that this is in reference to the project at 2nd and Wood, which is indeed in that weird little nook of north Old City that a couple folks mentioned. The entire area north of the BFB, south of Callowhill and east of 6th Street is like it's own little village and almost entirely residential save for some of the more industrial-leaning businesses still in the area. It definitely feels like a step back in time a little bit in some spots and can be wildly quiet and relaxing compared to the rest of Old City. |
REALLY digging the proposed projects in NoLibs and Fishtown. It's as if developers in these neighborhoods don't feel constrained by the "red brick conservatism" and the lame attempts to conform to the existing surroundings that make most other projects sooo boring (Edgewater II is one such example). It's refreshing and exciting to see what architects and developers are willing to do when they ditch the red brick and that whole mentality. Wish we can see more bold designs in other neighborhoods, too.

I'm just glad it's taken as long as it did, because the current wave is the best and highest quality so far...and had Northern Liberties been completely built out in the interim, we wouldn't have the opportunity to do what we're doing now. |

I guess my Manhattan mindset needs to adjust to Center City, which isn't buzzing in every section. |
I found myself in Allegheny West and West Philly this morning, so I decided to update y'all on some developments occurring in those respective places!
Site work has started on a mixed-use building scheduled to rise at 34th and Indiana: https://i.imgur.com/uOC02hc.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/6A06fvI.jpg?2 In case you forgot about this building: http://www.rising.realestate/176-uni...e-and-indiana/ Meanwhile at Ridge and Allegheny, final touches are being added to a new mixed-use building: https://i.imgur.com/Cc9rK5U.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/vuv06ts.jpg?2 Meanwhile in West Philly, five new buildings (three are framed, and two others are foundation-only at this point) are rising at the northwest corner of 57th and Market: https://i.imgur.com/iVO1F2l.jpg?1 Further down the 5700 block of Market, another building is nearing completion: https://i.imgur.com/qK4qFxy.jpg?1 The northwest corner of 59th and Market has stepped up greatly in terms of density! https://i.imgur.com/CM086me.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/ZNr8PbI.jpg?1 Finally, I noticed something rising behind the completed building, at the corner of Salford and Filbert Streets. Does anyone know what it may be? https://i.imgur.com/DaFIehE.jpg?1 |
That lowrise just south of Broad and Washington has started.

The Wharton Academic Research Building is nearing completion, and is some decent Penn in-fill at 37th and Spruce. A lot of their buildings have their backs turned toward Spruce, but this feels more integrated |

The South 18th project is pretty bad. It's zoned cmx2, should be apartments.

I'm sure neighbors will fight tooth and nail, regardless of what it looks like and for what it's worth, these look fine. |
