Hagert & York Luxury Apartments located in Philly’s Vibrant Neighborhood Now Open
Escape to Home with a Coffee Shop on the Ground Floor, and a Rooftop with Full Views of the City
PHILADELPHIA- September 19, 2023 – McGovern Holdings partnered with Saxum Real Estate on a 294-unit apartment community in the Fishtown/East Kensington neighborhood. The building will be full of amenities ranging from a coffee house/co-working concept, two rooftop lounges, fitness centers, club rooms, electric charging stations & much more. The community is set to elevate this sub-market to a new standard as U.S. renters consider an apartment’s amenity offerings in their search for a home top of mind.
Amenities are commonly cited as one of the reasons prospective residents sign or renew a lease. They help separate one apartment building from another. A recent study from Statista lists the top ten wanted amenities from renters. Of the ten, Hagert & York Apartments has seven of them: gym/recreational facilities (29%), pet services (24%), shared kitchen/dining areas (24%), package management system (18%), pools (17%), co-working spaces (16%), and greenspace-rooftop deck/courtyard (15%).
Hagert & York Apartments opened in July in Fishtown, one of America’s hottest neighborhoods to live in according to Forbes. Located on the 1900 block of E. Hagert and E. York Streets, the community is near farmers’ markets, dining, close transit options, and many breweries. It’s also pet-friendly and has an on-site café.
Founder of McGovern Holdings, Sean McGovern said, “The fundamentals of the Philadelphia market remain strong. Compared to other cities, Philadelphia is relatively affordable, maintains a healthy source for high-paying jobs & hosts some of the best restaurants & nightlife in the Country.
A grand opening at Hagert & York is scheduled in October. If you want more information, please email Jennifer Sherlock at jsherlock@jennacommunications.
