Green Residential Projects for Developers

Sustainable Projects + Build it Green 

= Positive Results and Increased Profits!

It is no secret that Philadelphia has an excess of inventory that Realtors are trying to move.   Realtors have become more creative in their MLS descriptions in order to lure the potential buyer to come see their listing. Needs work has become “ready for your decorative touch” and old fixtures has become “retro styling”.  “Creative financing” and “motivated sellers” are buzz words used to create an urgency for the buyer to come take a look at the ever increasing inventory that stays on the market way too long in Philadelphia.

While other large cities experienced a huge “bubble burst”, Philadelphia had more of a market correction after the large increases in property values over the last few years.  The real estate market, while ever changing, remains constant in the fact that desirable neighborhoods will continue to attract new residents and businesses and increase property values at realistic rates.

We have identified a large expanding market in Philadelphia. Eco-conscious individuals who want to build green but are faced with the challenge of finding a builder and architect and communicating their vision coupled with the added cost associated with building just one home often just give up. Build it Green has a wide variety of design styles that will enhance and blend with the many neighborhoods of Philly. By designing projects that feature four to ten Green homes around community common space, many of the costs can be spread out among the units, utilizing the economy of scale and therefore making the units more affordable to the buyer. Most of our project developments will be “spec” homes with several finish elements left unchosen so the individual homeowner can customizes their homes.

Developers, if you have thought about building “Green” - now is the time. The fact that Build it Green can help streamline your process and bring all the necessary parties together creates a win-win for everyone. The developer, the homeowner, the local business owner, mother earth and  the local community all benefit from the alliances we have forged over the years. We have several areas targeted for development, but will take planned projects under review and assist in blending green features into your project.

The units that you and Build it Green create will not linger on the MLS in limbo. Nor  will you need any gimmicks to get people to your Open House. Philadelphia now has the third largest downtown residential population and the most downtown households in the United States. New residents will continue to come, housing values will continue to rise and the boundaries of Center City will continue to expand.

Give them Green and They will Buy!
