Post Brothers, led by brothers Matt Pestronk and Michael Pestronk, has turned a huge swath of Philadelphia apartments into a connected portfolio of high-design, high-amenity communities that many renters consider the best apartments in Philadelphia.
Behind most of these landmark properties is Mega Supply Pro, acting as a manufacturer-direct procurement partner for building materials and finishes on some of the most significant multifamily projects in the region.
This article highlights four of the biggest collaborations between Mega Supply Pro and Post Brothers in Philadelphia:
Along the way, we will naturally reference how these communities compete with other Philly apartments for rent and help set the bar for luxury multifamily living in some of the best areas of Philadelphia.
One Thousand One apartment complex with retail spaces - developed by Post Brothers, with finishes supplied by Mega Supply Pro
Why Post Brothers Works With a Manufacturer-Direct Partner
Post Brothers is vertically integrated, with in-house teams handling design, construction, leasing, and management, and a commercial arm, Post Commercial Real Estate, that oversees and markets the retail and mixed-use components.
Mega Supply Pro integrates with that machine, serving as a one-stop shop for procuring building materials and finishes by sourcing directly from manufacturers rather than through multiple distributors, thus eliminating numerous redundant middlemen and their markups.
Typical scopes Mega Supply Pro has been managing for Post Brothers' multifamily construction projects include:
Windows and doors (including custom aluminum and curtain wall systems)
Flooring and tile packages
Custom kitchen cabinets, countertops, and appliances
Bathroom fixtures, vanities, and accessories
Lighting, smart home devices, and building specialty items
On large projects, this manufacturer-direct approach enabled Post Brothers' apartment buildings to meet aggressive schedules, maintain consistent specs across hundreds of units, and compete on price with other luxury apartment developers in Philadelphia and beyond.
One Thousand One: A New Benchmark on Broad & Washington
Project: One Thousand One, Broad & Washington, South Philadelphia
Developer: Post Brothers
Scope: 600+ units in the first phase of a 1,100+ unit master plan
One Thousand One is one of the largest ground-up multifamily projects in Pennsylvania, filling an entire city block at Philadelphia's bustling intersection of Broad Street and Washington Avenue with a 15-story tower, large podium, and integrated retail, including a full-size supermarket.
For this development, Mega Supply Pro supplied a broad finish scope, including:
Custom triple-pane window systems sourced from our partners at Vetrina Windows, – sized to work with prefabricated wall panels, critical on a project that is one of the largest residential prefab wall panel deployments in the country.
Coordinated finish packages for hundreds of apartments, with multiple interior design palettes so residents can choose different looks while the developer keeps procurement streamlined.
Plumbing fixtures, lighting, and accessories selected to stand up to heavy use while still reading as upscale
This project also illustrates how Post Brothers construction and Mega Supply Pro work in lockstep: the developer can push for high density and ambitious amenities, while the procurement partner keeps per-unit cost and deployment under control.
When prospective residents search for Philadelphia apartments for rent near Center City and the Avenue of the Arts, One Thousand One now appears alongside longtime favorites, helping Post Brothers compete for renters who want large-scale amenities, unique high-end finishes, affordability, accessibility, and transit access in one apartment complex.
The Piazza: Northern Liberties’ Sky Village
Project: Piazza Alta, Northern Liberties
Developer: Post Brothers
Scope: Nearly 700 units in the initial phase, with a large retail and amenity annex
Piazza Alta is a major expansion of the original Piazza, adding multiple mid-rise buildings, a resort-style pool deck, and extensive retail to one of the best areas in Philadelphia for nightlife and dining.
Mega Supply Pro’s work at The Piazza focused heavily on the building envelope and unit finishes, including:
Aluminum curtain wall systems framing amenity and retail spaces
Custom oversized aluminum windows and doors that maintain narrow sightlines while meeting energy codes
Hundreds of tilt-and-turn, casement, and picture windows manufactured to Post Brothers’ exact sizing and performance requirements
A wide range of interior finishes, fixtures, tile, flooring, accessories, and other design products
From a developer’s lens, the project shows how a single manufacturer-direct partner like Mega Supply Pro can coordinate complex glazing packages across several buildings while also supplying interior finishes, reducing friction between the design team and field crews, while keeping everything within the original budget and on schedule.
For renters comparing loft apartments in Philadelphia or high-amenity communities in Northern Liberties against competitors, Piazza Alta stands out for its scale, skyline views, and mix of indoor and outdoor spaces that feel truly luxurious while still being affordable.
The Atlantic: Classic Meets Contemporary on the Avenue of the Arts
Project: The Atlantic, Broad & Spruce
Developer: Post Brothers
Type: Historic office-to-residential conversion
The Atlantic, a historic tower across from the Kimmel Center, was transformed by Post Brothers into a luxury rental community with hotel-level amenities.
Mega Supply Pro helped bring the interior vision to life by:
Supplying wide-plank white oak flooring with an oil-rubbed matte finish for a softer, residential feel
Coordinating two distinct interior finish palettes so units could read either classic or modern while staying within a tight spec framework
Providing a cohesive package of bathroom fixtures, hardware, lighting, and kitchen components designed to feel boutique yet durable for long-term operation
When renters look for luxury apartments in Philadelphia with walkable access to arts and culture, The Atlantic frequently appears on shortlists of the best residences in Center City.
The Poplar: Adaptive Reuse with a Sustainability Focus
Project: The Poplar, West Poplar / Callowhill
Developer: Post Brothers
Scope: Historic industrial building rehab and conversion
The Poplar is a large adaptive-reuse project where Post Brothers converted an existing structure into a modern residential building designed for families and long-term renters.
The Poplar is often cited alongside The Atlantic, The Darien, and One Thousand One in citywide roundups of family-sized Post Brothers properties.
Mega Supply Pro’s contribution to The Poplar centered on performance and sustainability:
Energy-saving windows with argon-filled glass and Low-E coatings
Carbon-free heating and cooling systems paired with 100% Energy Star appliances
LED lighting throughout, plus water-efficient dishwashers, washing machines, and toilets, all sourced and delivered as complete integrated finish packages
For families evaluating loft apartments in Philadelphia that also offer affordable convenience and lower utility bills, The Poplar shows how thoughtful procurement can align with Post Brothers’ green objectives without sacrificing aesthetics, quality, or breaking budgets.
Beyond the Big Four: Rittenhouse Hill, Presidential City, Goldtex, and The Irvine
Post Brothers and Mega Supply Pro have collaborated on a number of other high-profile assets that shape how people experience Philly apartments for rent across the city.
Rittenhouse Hill Apartments
Rittenhouse Hill is a large apartment complex in East Falls, close to Germantown and Manayunk, with extensive amenities and marketed as one of the most complete and feature-rich multifamily projects in the area.
Mega Supply Pro sourced, supplied, and delivered construction materials and finish products for the property’s major remodel and for new amenities like the pool, parking garage, gym, dog run, and landscaped outdoor spaces.
Presidential City
Presidential City, a four-tower complex on City Avenue, was acquired by Post Brothers and comprehensively gut-renovated into a Class A community with a large resort-style amenity offering.
Post Brothers turned to Mega Supply Pro as a one-stop partner to procure construction materials, plumbing fixtures, lighting, tile, and flooring across more than 1,000 units, simplifying coordination and helping control costs on a very large multifamily renovation project that was completed on time and within its original budget.
For Goldtex, Mega Supply Pro took full ownership of building material supply and delivery, reviewed the architect’s spec, provided value engineering where appropriate, and shipped materials to the site just in time for installation. Mega's efforts helped position Goldtex among the best apartments in Philadelphia for renters who want central-city living with eco-conscious design.
The Irvine
The Irvine is a 100-plus-year-old former warehouse in West Philadelphia that Post Brothers converted into a 153-unit apartment building with industrial-chic interiors and modern amenities.
Mega Supply Pro supported that conversion by working with manufacturers to produce custom aluminum windows, supplying bathroom vanities and fixtures, and sourcing compact laundry and storage solutions that work within the existing structure.
For renters considering loft apartments in Philadelphia or adaptive-reuse communities like The Irvine, the combination of historic fabric and modern finishes demonstrates what is possible when design, procurement, and construction are fully aligned.
Post Brothers started by repositioning assets in neighborhoods like Germantown and Mt. Airy, including the Delmar Morris apartments and Rittenhouse Hill, before expanding aggressively into Center City, Northern Liberties, and beyond. Across this portfolio, Mega Supply Pro’s manufacturer-direct procurement model helps keep finishes consistently high-end and budgets predictable, whether the goal is a dramatic Northern Liberties landmark like Piazza Alta or a neighborhood-scale community that quietly outperforms nearby Philadelphia apartments.
What This Means for Developers and Owners
For developers who would like to draw inspiration from the successful multifamily journey of Post Brothers or use their approach to real estate development as a case study, a few themes stand out:
Vertical integration plus strong partners wins.
Michael and Matthew Pestronk have built a vertically integrated platform where in-house teams handle the full life cycle and rely on long-term partners like Mega Supply Pro for procurement at scale.
Manufacturer-direct procurement supports ambitious design.
By sourcing finishes, windows, and fixtures directly from manufacturers, Mega Supply Pro helped Post Brothers' properties stay competitive on price without sacrificing the look and feel that differentiates them in the crowded Philly apartments-for-rent market.
Consistent specs make operations easier.
Standardized finish packages across hundreds of units make maintenance, unit turns, and long-term asset management simpler for both Post Brothers and Post Commercial Real Estate.
If you are developing large multifamily or mixed-use projects and want your communities to compete directly with the top players in America's apartment rental market, Mega Supply Pro can play the same role for your portfolio that it played at One Thousand One, Piazza Alta, The Atlantic, The Poplar, Rittenhouse Hill, Presidential City, Goldtex, The Irvine, and other apartment and condo complexes already enjoyed by thousands of their residents.
