When it began in 2014, the Burji Al Babas housing development was meant to be a luxury escape full of castle villas. By 2019, more than half of the 732 villas were sold. The center of the complex was to include a domed structure containing shops, a movie theater, and other facilities, open to residents.

When Turkey hit an economic crisis, so too did the development and the castles now lay abandoned, making the complex a ghost town. The villas were each for sale for $370-$530k. Would you buy a fairytale-inspired vacation mansion? 🧚‍♂️

Fivesquares strives to be a socially responsible real estate developer. But what does that mean? Today, we bring you the principles of socially responsible real estate development and investment, which must be considered to create sustainable and healthy communities.

1️⃣ Good health and well-being: A growing body of research demonstrates the direct correlation between building features and occupants’ mental and physical health.

2️⃣ Decent work and economic growth: Social impact can also be measured by a building’s contribution to the community, such as how much municipal tax revenue the building’s commercial activities generate. It's also important to look at how many local jobs and small businesses the property supports, including local business development opportunities.

3️⃣ Sustainable cities and communities: A property can support the social infrastructure of the surrounding community by leasing space for essential services like healthcare, offering affordable housing and organizing community engagement events.

4️⃣ Reduced inequalities: In office properties, it is important to serve the needs of the increasingly diverse employees who work in the building. This means allocating space to prayer rooms, lactation rooms, gender-neutral bathrooms and other amenities, as well as ensuring all spaces are accessible to people of all abilities.

We like to think of the world as a tightly intertwined ecosystem where our decision-making has positive power!

Did you know that our name, Fivesquares [Development], comes from the five “squares” of Philadelphia (where our co-founders met)?

In the late 17th century, William Penn planned the creation of five open public parks in Central Philly. These original squares included: Centre Square (what is now the site of City Hall), North East Publick Square (now Franklin Square), Northwest Square (now Logan Square), Southwest Square (now Rittenhouse Square) & Southeast Square (now Washington Square).

Our founders thought Fivesquares to be a fitting name, as they created our company with the intention of our work being meaningful and outside-the-box, with dimension that extends beyond just the typical four corners of a square, the fifth square, if you will.

5 Trends Shaping Apartment Communities in the Wake of the Coronavirus Pandemic...

🔹A focus on individual amenities like high speed wifi, larger kitchens, in-unit washer/dryer & terraces vs. communal amenities such as pools & lounges
🔹Virtual tours vs. in-person
🔹A new reliance on and trust in property managers for updates on health information & protocols
🔹A new perspective on “location, location, location” that is no longer defined by proximity to work & transportation, but closeness to culture, sights & green space
🔹A new set of generational values: tendency to rent vs. buy

Our newest property, Liz on 14th Street embodies everything that is important to residents in a post-pandemic world. Check out photos, floorplans & pricing at LizDC.com!
