The Sansom is one of those rarities that turned out better than the sketches.

Here is an article about The Croydon, the long vacant eight-storey apartment building in West Philadelphia's Walnut Hill neighborhood, that is being renovated into upscale apartments.

The Sansom is exactly what was needed. Nice low-key infill----this is what can make a city great! It doesn't always have to be spectacular

or flashy.

Agreed. I definitely railed against it as a boring red brick box, but it looks great.

Also agreed that this situation is a rarity. Usually, you know with all the photoshop touches, the renderings look one way and the real thing is a disappointment.

This won't set the world on fire, but it's a nice little development from in Fishtown:

Couple things of note- There is no additional car parking included with this development, but it will have a 30 bike "lot" on the first floor. The building currently stands abandoned.
