Phila-State

An interview with Ed Obrien, CEO of Firstbase, about the history and current landscape of Philadelphia commercial office space.

It's not something that jumps to forefront of your mind when you think of Real Estate but the politics and policies of density in Philadelphia are probably the largest factors effecting quality of life and affordability in our ever changing city. Look no further than how parking policies, or the lack there of, is effecting our neighborhoods and turning the meekest of citizens into a enraged tire slasher.

It sounds simple but the idea of building modern green homes that the average Philadelphian can afford is anything but. Fortunately developers like Chad Ludeman of Postgreen homes is not afraid of a big challenge. In this episode we talk with Chad about what it was like to jump into the development game, his current projects, and what he's seeing in blossoming neighborhoods like Old Kensington, South Kensington and Francisville.
