Metro Impact builds to suit in Graduate Hospital

 
You guys are probably getting sick of my constant blogging about Graduate Hospital all the time.

The truth is, it’s not hard to keep talking about it. Graduate Hospital (a.k.a. Southwest Center City, South of South, or G-Ho) is always in the news and seems to consistently get positive press. So much so that it inspired my Broker and I to create some short videos highlighting a lot of the area’s positive trends that are taking place as we speak. You can check them out on my YouTube channel. Plus, Graduate Hospital is also one of our office’s prime real estate areas for buyers/sellers/investors/renters, and it’s only a few blocks from where our HQ sits at 21st St & Locust St.

Bucks County builder, Metro Impact Homes, has been a driving force in this neighborhoods recent surge in popularity as well as overall value. What really attracted Metro to this area was the golden rule of real estate: Location, Location, Location. Because Graduate Hospital is in such close proximity to both Center City and University City, it seemed like an easy decision for them. The company has been building here now for years and has some very popular projects to show for it (i.e. 1910 Christian St, etc.), as well as some future ones on the horizon (i.e. Montrose Court, Fitz4, etc.).

Needless to say, if you’re looking for the Center City/University City lifestyle and want to avoid overpaying for it, Graduate Hospital may just be the right place for you.

Exciting new project for Graduate Hospital

If this area was not getting enough press already, here’s some more good news for one of Philadelphia’s hottest neighborhoods for real estate. A new large, anchor project at the corner of S 17th St and Washington Ave; right on the border of Rittenhouse Square and Graduate Hospital.

Here are the highlights of the project:

  • 11 new townhomes
  • 6 new condominiums
  • 2,000 sq ft of commercial space
  • Open space
  • Off-street parking

Here’s some more information on the project, as well as on the developers. Happy MLK Day!

Welcome to 2400 South

 
If you thought Naval Square was a big commitment by Toll Brothers to start developing more in Philadelphia (more specifically, in Graduate Hospital), they are starting a new project right around the corner.

2400 South is a $30 Million residential community consisting of 66 new townhomes (and eventually, 56 new condominiums; once Naval Square is closer to being sold out). This will be another huge anchor for one of Philadelphia’s hottest neighborhoods.

Question: Why is one of the largest builders in the country, that has consistently built in suburban environments throughout the US, investing so much in our city? Answer: Well planned new construction projects in Philly, that are priced right and built in the right locations, are currently selling at a very good pace. In other words, projects like this are bucking the trend that most new residential projects are currently facing. Young families are deciding to stay in the city, suburbanites are looking for more of an urban lifestyle, and the Center City area offers live/work/play options at affordable prices.

If you are interested in seeing what this project is all about, let me know and I’ll set us up with an on-site appointment. Most of my professional career was spent in the residential new construction industry, so be rest assured that you’re in good hands with me.
