This is 225 Fourth Avenue, which used to the be the home of an old SEPTA trolley car next to the Lyceum. Sadly, that was blow torched into scrap metal oblivion. Work is underway on the site however and the construction equipment is digging up a lot of concrete. The property is being developed and will be home to a new 12-story building with 40 units. No renderings of the building, which will rise above the Lyceum–a gorgeous old bath house–have surfaced. Given the other stuff rising on Fourth Avenue, we can’t wait.

Oh hai, welcome back.
All I can say about that spot is that the builder, Bayside, makes solid structures that are slightly less ugly than the Bricolage stuff, and interiors that are superficially attractive but a tad slapdash quality-wise.
