That was fast! The last available unit at the Sanctuary, #12, has gone pending. Congrats to Realogics for a quick sell out. Which project will be the next to sell out? Disclaimer: The Sanctuary is (was?) an Urbnlivn advertiser.

Unit #12 is a whopping 2,952 square feet, 2 beds, 3.25 baths and the best rooftop deck on the southwest corner of the building. Priced at $879,950, it was priced at $1,145,000 back in 2010.
