Allan Domb, who has had a singular presence in the Philadelphia real estate market for decades, joined us on December 18 to discuss the State of the City of Philadelphia.
Beginning in 1980, he created a premier real estate firm in Philadelphia. Through that firm, he was a leader in the movement to convert existing buildings to highly sought-after condominiums. In doing so, he helped to transform Center City. In 1990, and again from 2013-15, Allan served as the President of the Greater Philadelphia Association of Realtors. Under Allan’s leadership and vision he changed GPAR’s mission statement from the “Voice for Real Estate in Philadelphia” to the “Voice for Philadelphia.” It was as a result of his vast business experience and involvement in GPAR that Allan realized a niche needed to be filled in the City of Philadelphia’s government. Believing that he could bring the same business skills and advocacy ability that made him a successful businessman to the chambers of Philadelphia City Council, Allan was elected in November 2015 as an At-Large member.
As a Councilman, he has committed himself to lowering the poverty rate, collecting delinquent taxes owed to the city, increasing graduation rates, and promoting job growth through the retention of existing business and creation of new businesses by further attracting millennials in the tech and manufacturing industries to Philadelphia. And, of course, he continues to have a keen interest in issues affecting the real estate market, such as the 10-year tax abatement program.
