Philadelphia Business Journal | Southern Land Co. Carves $900M Niche in Philadelphia’s Luxury Multifamily Market | Paul Schwedelson
"Long term, where there's a housing need and where you can deliver a distinctive product, there will always be a market. In Philadelphia, that's been confirmed by the performance of these projects. We feel the market remains strong for quality and luxury housing options. We think it was an underserved market segment and this building is fulfilling that need."
"Something we try to solve for in the recruiting process is emotional intelligence. These jobs are incredibly demanding. You need financial acumen, emergency readiness, a high degree of people skills, and it's just every day of the year. I think that X factor is people who have some warmth and some empathy, and that's tough to solve for during the recruiting process."
"We strive to be part of a community, not apart from the community. By infusing our spaces with the work of local talent, we amplify their creativity and passion in our spaces and hopefully use our platform to help advance them and their work."
