On March 24 the Philadelphia Business Journal held its 2015 Best Real Estate Deals event at the Loews hotel in Center City. We recognized 26 projects at various stages: construction, development, leasing, relocation and more. To be considered all projects had to have completed an element of transaction during the calendar year of 2015.
These are the transactions that made the headlines and are helping cement Greater Philadelphia’s reputation as a true renaissance region. To make the list, the projects were judged on size, impact, creativity and what we’ll call the general WOW! factor.
