The apartments are designed to serve middle-class renters, with no government subsidies such as tax credits and fewer of the bells and whistles associated with luxury projects.

Metro Philadelphia has commonly been characterized as stable by multifamily investors. It’s akin to a backhanded compliment when comparing our region to those with higher population growth or more “business-friendly” governments.
