In Philadelphia, high-end condominiums, luxury apartments, high-rise hotels, towering office buildings and chic retail and restaurants are being built and delivered at an astonishing pace.
But that’s not all these neighborhoods have. They also have pockets of opportunity.
82 tracts throughout Philadelphia are now under a new federal program designed to bring investment and development into the region, prompting savvy investors and city officials to work together to spark economic activity.
Skyrocketing values have some concerned, the Trump administration has been cause for political uncertainty, and everyone has been watching what the Fed will do with interest rates. How has this impacted Philadelphia’s capital markets?
