A search of the BRT Property lists this as the developer:
SUNBURST REALTY L P 1936 SPRUCE ST PHILADELPHIA, PA 19103-6613
I counted 10 properties in the 4400 block of Sansom. They purchased 7 of the 10 in November 1999 for $537K, which itself is pretty amazing, since the area in 1999 was pretty....tough.

is where I got my information. It's got a great wealth of information on property in Philly.

Someone asked the names of the developers, and Greg claimed not to know. If you find this hard to believe, you haven't dealt much with the clique that used to get away with the pretense of representing "the community" hereabouts. The discussion about the developers, though, led me to form the personal opinion -- and I could be wrong, it's been known to happen -- that these non-local developers ("absentee developers," Neil?) haven't a clue about such things as the Alexander School catchment area, the produce trucks that park at 44th & Sansom every day and have huge popular support, the locus of Mill Creek (not the Tavern, the watercourse), or the eagerness with which rich folks will buy pricey homes next door to properties that are boarded up and whose destiny is fraught with uncertainty.
