Post Brothers Apartments is a property development company based in Philadelphia, and has carried out various large-scale projects in the city. Since the company's formation in 2007, they have renovated numerous residential apartment buildings in the Philadelphia area. Post Brothers was responsible for the restoration and renovation of the historic Goldtex building in downtown Philadelphia and the renovation of Rittenhouse Hill, a 624-unit project in Northwest Philadelphia totaling over $250 million in value, among other projects. ==History== Post Brothers Apartments was founded by two brothers living in Philadelphia, Matthew and Michael Pestronk. The company was originally founded in 2007, at the onset of a real estate market correction that caused a global downturn in real estate prices and construction activity. In November 2011, Post Brothers began work on the rehabilitation of an existing building, which would contain 624 housing units and over 30,000 square feet in retail space once complete. The building, known as Rittenhouse Hill in Germantown, Philadelphia, would include a mixture of studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. Multi-million dollar renovations were completed in July, 2013. The build was highlighted by Multi-Housing News for its implementation of many Green building features, including energy efficient lighting and a heating and air conditioning system utilizing a high efficiency electric heat pump. The building is completely powered by wind-generated power and became the first building in Philadelphia of this size to use wind energy as the sole source of energy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://articles.philly.com/2012-03-28/news/31250036_1_wages-and-standards-health-professionals-project )〕 Post Brothers announced in 2012 that they would commence with the refurbishment of the Goldtex building, at an estimated cost of $40 million. When completed, the building would be home to approximately 160 loft-style apartments, ranging from studios to three-bedrooms; and 7,000 square feet of retail space. Goldtex would be built to LEED silver standards with Green building features such as 100% wind-generated power, Energy Star rated appliances, highly-efficient heating and air conditioning system balancing demand throughout the building. The building has a close proximity to Center City, Philadelphia and had previously been a shoe factory built in 1905. Shortly after the announcement of the building project, the company was criticized by several local unions as the project was offered to non-union contractors. In 2012, Post Brothers purchased 984-unit apartment complex, known as the Presidential City Apartments. After renovations are completed the complex will feature 1038 apartments, and about 8,000 square feet of retail.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/print-edition/2013/01/18/a-100-million-renovation-of-the.html?page=all )〕 Post Brothers purchased a 320,000 square foot, partially vacant office building out of foreclosure located on 260 South Broad Street in Philadelphia for over $27 million in July 2012. Post Brothers is expected to convert the former office building into residential apartments or condominiums. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Post Brothers Apartments」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
