The Philadelphia Condo Loft

Going green & saving green seem to be all the rage these days, which is why the real estate development firm Postgreen has the right idea.

Browsing aimlessly through an airline magazine trying to pass the time on a boring flight, I came across an article that literally had me rip the page out to keep! (Sorry Airtran) It was titled, “Reduce, Reuse, Real Estate” and it gave me great idea on an interesting concept taking place right in Philadelphia!

Postgreen is the source behind the 100K House, a case study in which they are attempting to build a LEED-platinmum certified Philadelphia home for only $100,000 in construction costs. For those of you unfamiliar with the high cost of green building…this is an incredible goal! Postgreen is aiming to prove that green homes can be built affordably if designed properly. Being “eco-friendly” will now hopefully be “eco-nomicially friendly” too!

After reading this article I was thoroughly impressed with Postgreen and their use of their blog as a source for ideas and information…because after all, here at CondoDomain we value our blogs in the same way.

Postgreen plans to build ten houses in Philadelphia in 2009 and a projected 40-50 in 2010. To learn more about Postgreen visit their website or their blog.
