Bucks County Couple Turns Derelict 1800s Barn Into a Dream Home

When Erna Akuginow and Geoff Haines-Stiles bought a six-acre property in Tinicum Township, Pennsylvania, in 2017, the lot came with a stone farmhouse dating to about 1780 and a rundown barn bearing reminders of its past animal inhabitants.

NJ was ‘screaming’ for warehouses. Now many struggle to find tenants

As the COVID-19 pandemic swept through New Jersey in 2020, it spurred growth in online purchases as people were forced to isolate at home. That, in turn, spiked demand for warehouse space. And warehouses started popping up all over — generating anger and opposition among many New Jersey residents. But it turns out that warehouse developers overestimated demand. Throughout New Jersey, developers are hitting the brakes on construction of new warehouses, which are also called “logistics hubs,” “distribution centers” and “fulfillment centers.” Warehouse construction is at half the level seen during the pandemic, said Brian Golden, a senior logistics executive at CBRE, a company that negotiates leases between the owners of commercial space and the companies that occupy them. Story continues below photo gallery. Tim Evans, research director of New Jersey Future, a policy advocacy group, said that “demand for storage space spiked during COVID for several reasons, and then the commercial construction industry might have slightly overshot in their response, building a bit more than was actually necessary for supply to catch up to demand.” Total warehouse space in North Jersey has grown 12% since 2016, from 203 million square feet to nearly 227 million square feet, reported CoStar,

A novel approach to combatting gentrification is working in Kensington

In 2023, J.C. Zerbe, community advocate and acclaimed muralist, welcomed an unusual offer: a spiffy, brand-new space for below-market rent. The offer came from the Kensington Corridor Trust (KCT). Most landlords buy buildings to hold onto them, but KCT buys properties to give them away — rehabbing them and transferring them to community ownership.

5100 Lancaster Ave. — Approximate Site of Proposed 45-Unit Building.

The plan from Haverford Square Properties called for 42 affordable units, but it also asked for a building six feet taller than current zoning allows, a sticking point that proved decisive before the board.

A building trades union is getting a $1-a-year land deal from the city of Philadelphia

On a gray morning in Southwest Philadelphia, a wide stretch of city owned ground sits quiet beside rail lines and warehouse roofs. Neighbors know the parcel as empty land the city has held for years. City Hall now knows it as the site of a proposed lease that would hand 21 acres to a building trades union for a dollar a year, so the union can raise an apprenticeship training yard. The Philly union land deal has already become a test of how this city treats public property when a powerful labor ally comes asking.
