A pair of adjacent apartment buildings totaling more than 500 units in Philadelphia's Poplar neighborhood have hit the market. Post Brothers CEO Michael Pestronk told the PBJ the developer put the buildings up for sale because Philadelphia's apartment market has "strongly recovered" after prior weakness. Greater Philadelphia's apartment occupancy rose more than half a point last quarter to 96.7%, and rents jumped 2%, according to CBRE. The buildings Post Brothers just put on the market sit near the border of those two areas. While a series of apartment buildings traded in Center City in late 2025 and early 2026, regionwide investment sales volume has been down this year.
