The Colorworks Building is situated in Philadelphia’s dynamic West Kensington neighborhood, an area that has increasingly attracted young professionals and families seeking a balance of urban vitality and close-knit community charm. The property benefits from a prime location just one block from American Street, offering excellent access to major transportation routes such as Route 95 and Broad Street. It is also conveniently located near Temple University and the bustling Fishtown district.
Kensington is generally defined by its triangular borders—Erie Avenue, Front Street, and Trenton Avenue. In recent years, the neighborhood has undergone significant gentrification, with many formerly abandoned buildings being revitalized by enterprising individuals. American Street, in particular, has experienced substantial growth following a $5 million federal TIGER grant awarded in 2015. This investment led to the removal of old rail tracks, the introduction of dedicated bike lanes and parking areas, wider sidewalks, improved highway-grade lighting, and green infrastructure initiatives to manage stormwater effectively.
