Social Impact
Is Our Passion
Our partners believe that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Our partners include everyone involved in a project. Lenders, contractors, community leaders and everyone in between who are building their own legacies.
Relearning the basics of real estate investing with Ken Weinstein - with more experience and purpose, makes workshops such as Jumpstart Germantown that much more impactful. Being profitable and being socially conscious do not have to be 2 separate things
A true trailblazer, Emily Bittenbender visited the Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI) of the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and shared her approach and mindset to become one of the leading construction firms in Philadelphia.
“Legacy. What is a legacy?
It’s planting seeds in a garden you never get to see.”
The purpose of the Legacy Collective blog is to spread the word on topics relating to social impact development.
Building a legacy is not something that happens overnight. Here are a few highlights of PROJECTS that I’ve done over the years.
My journey started over 10 years ago and these are just some of the projects I’ve worked on over the years. Many of them are in areas that are currently being gentrified, which happens when developers focus on providing a product for one type of customer. My point in sharing this is so you can see my ability to identify areas and properties that have major potential for growth. Obviously I’m not the only person who has this ability- but most developers target selling or renting to a luxury buyer or renter. I see nothing wrong with that, but my intention isn’t to focus on just one area of the market, since everyone, not only those in a higher tax bracket, needs a place to live.
I’m Beverly Garces Buella. I’ve worked in residential real estate development for the past 10 years - as a broker, an agent, a landlord, and a developer. Most of my projects have focused on single family residential properties - in areas that have been experiencing growth throughout Philadelphia - Point Breeze, Temple, University City, Kensington, Whitman, Mount Airy, Germantown, and the suburbs.
Sometimes people ask me, “what’s your dream project?” What I describe when I share that with people, is what was shared when I learned about New Market West and Eastern Lofts.
