Postgreen Homes recently announced their newest project in Philadelphia, built with SIPs.
We are building three new homes on E. Susquehanna Ave in East Kensington, just a few doors down from the original 100k Project.
They are calling these homes "The Skinny Project".
...named for the new model we will be debuting in this build. The Skinny, designed to fit on Philadelphia’s narrow lots, offers an extremely flexible, open floor plan.
They also launched a home customization tool for the Skinny and three additional models:
| Model | BR | Bath | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Family |
2 | 1-2 | starting at $260,000 |
| Loft |
1 | 1 | starting at $250,000 |
| Work |
1 | 1 | starting at $250,000 |
|
| None |
Postgreen Homes is "a real estate development firm specializing in modern, green and affordable buildings in Philadelphia’s urban neighborhoods."
According to their site:
projects include single and multi-family residential units as well as mixed-use and commercial buildings for both purchase and lease
Their first project was a loft townhouse built with SIPs.
From the 100k House Project Summary page:
It was conceived as an attempt to prove that green construction can be affordable if properly designed and executed. The project name came from the target construction cost (labor and materials only) for the smaller of the two homes.
Interesting to note: The 2 unit building (includes the 100k House and the 120k House) has a projected sales price of $200,000 - $250,000.
