Crawford House is a well‑constructed five‑story community on a prominent Portsmouth corner, formerly home to a 1960's office building. As the office market shifted, the property was renovated and transformed into an ideal residential use. The building was previously a Wells Fargo office.

The building offers 46 upscale urban apartment homes with quiet concrete construction and impressive amenities. A rooftop interior/exterior lounge provides sweeping city views, and a new elevator offers easy access to the penthouse club area. 

The first floor features a large clubhouse with a pool table, kitchen, business center, game room, fitness facility, patio with grill, mail center, package room, and full bathrooms. Apartments on floors one through five include high‑end finishes such as stainless-steel appliances, full‑size washers and dryers, granite countertops, premium flooring, and modern technology. Deep window wells create cozy seating nooks, and upper floors enjoy water views and vistas of Norfolk. 

Parking is abundant, with one private lot space per resident, access to a 400‑space city garage directly behind the building, and additional street parking for guests. Ideally located between the Olde Towne Historic District and the High Street commercial corridor, Crawford House is just a block from the waterfront and steps from shops, restaurants, museums, theaters, and historic homes. It offers boutique living in one of Portsmouth’s most vibrant and walkable areas. 

The hallmark of this deal was that it was virtually a complete renovation, where we encapsulated the entire building with a new skin. The building leased quickly since it was directly across the street from the Mid-Atlantic Headquarters for the US Coast Guard, and close to the Portsmouth Naval Hospital. This was a joint venture with the local owners, supplemented by new capital.
