Jewish Federation Real
Estate Tours Pod Philly

ON NOV. 7, the Jewish Federation Real Estate (JFRE) affinity group had the exclusive
opportunity to get a firsthand look of the Pod Philly hotel, a brand-new alternative
to the typical hotel experience featuring vibrant and unique social spaces.

Members toured the hotel and heard from people behind the project including
Rob Zuritsky, president and CEO of Parkway Corp.; Michael Roberts, area general
manager of Modus Hotels; and Greg Root, a partner of Condesa, the 140-seat
Mexican restaurant on the hotel’s ground floor.

To learn more about the Jewish Federation Real Estate affinity group, contact
Shara Swift at [email protected] or visit jewishphilly.org/jfre.
