Candlebrook Properties Launches CB3, an Affordable Housing Development & Management Company Based In Philadelphia

NEW YORK, Dec. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- New York based real estate company Candlebrook Properties announced the launch of their newest venture, CB³. Using Candlebrook's experience and success in the multifamily and student housing industries, CB³ will serve as a platform to create superior housing choices, social services and high-end management in the affordable housing industry.

Candlebrook has brought on veteran Josh Levy to lead the creation and operation of CB³.  Levy has years of experience in the development and financing of affordable housing, having been an executive at affordable housing syndication and development firms.  By combining the affordable housing development and finance experience of Levy with the development, management and construction experience of Candlebrook, CB³ will be able to create innovative development, construction, management and financing structures to create a platform that exceeds the expectations of tenants, lenders and investors.

"The housing cost burden in the United States continues to outpace the growth of income across the country. Housing is an imperative need of every individual and family, which will need to be satisfied in perpetuity.  CB³ will create and reinvigorate housing options for tenants that provide the quality that our market rate tenants expect at pricing our workforce and low-income tenants can afford," says Levy.

Neil Rubler, Candlebrook's President, added "while the provision of high-quality workforce housing has always been a core focus of ours, we are particularly excited to now fully develop this segment of our business with a specific emphasis on the exploration of new technologies and design concepts around the creation of superior homes for residents of more limited means."

CB³ will focus on development and redevelopment efforts nationwide and is actively seeking individual properties and portfolios for purchase.
