Philadelphia’s purchasers have over-whelmingly been owner-occupants and existing residents who are upgrading or downsizing. There is also a steady flow of new comers to Center City. The success of Center City and the rapidly growing buffer neighborhoods is enhancing Philadelphia’s economic competitveness by attracting a large number of professional, well-educated new residents from other locations. They bring with them new skills, new energy and new ideas. They have embraced the entire Green Movement as evidenced by the natural foods they eat to the all natural green cleaning products they use to scrub their floors. Give them something green to live in and something green to work in - they will flock to these developments.
