Real Estate Addicts

Benjie founded Arx Urban in 2013 after a stint on Wall Street. His most recent development endeavors are socially minded and he shares in detail how he’s been able to attract capital for these projects which aren’t necessarily typical development plays. Benjie was an early adaptor of “crowd-funding” deals and we discuss the evolution of this egalitarian way of finding investors. Finally, Benjie details a new project in Allston which he’s proposing as an innovative “Co-Living Space.” We conclude with over-rated/under-rated and hit on topics ranging from modular construction to micro-apartments and fractious topics like rent control.
