Looks like my prediction of East Parkside being one of the next neighborhoods to take off is starting to come true! 4148 is the huge grassy lot near 42nd and Parkside. A six story building would definitely make a great presence there. Let's just hope that this new building doesn't become overly value-engineered. Parkside Avenue is a top 10, if not top 5, corridor when it comes to architecture in the city!

I'm also happy to see that development is continuing to move northwest along Lancaster Avenue. Once Schuylkill Yards and uCity Square fill up a little more, I wouldn't be surprised if Belmont becomes a new hot neighborhood. Many neighborhoods north of Market are significantly underdeveloped, which provides developers with a blank canvas when the time comes.
