Pangea Properties Paves the Way for Employment Opportunities
Chicago, IL, June 12, 2013 --(PR.com)-- While employment levels are finally starting to rebound after reaching their lowest levels in years, some companies are aiming their efforts where it matters most-their own backyard. Pangea Properties, a private real estate investment trust (REIT) headquartered in Chicago, is creating jobs within the communities they serve and benefiting the local economy where unemployment rates have hit hard.
Al Goldstein, President of Pangea Properties explains that in the past three years alone, Pangea has had tremendous growth while most companies across the country were cutting back. “We have grown from 25 employees in 2010 to employing over 300 people,” says Goldstein. “Many of our core communities have unemployment rates as high as 16%; we have made a conscious effort at creating job opportunities in the communities where we have a presence.”
The majority of the distressed properties Pangea renovates are located in lower-middle income neighborhoods with high unemployment rates, including South Shore, Auburn Gresham and Chatham, to name a few. With Pangea’s rapid growth and investment in the community Goldstein adds that many people who live in these areas are then able to obtain local job opportunities with Pangea such as call center roles, janitorial, maintenance, property management and leasing agent positions. “As our company grows we are looking to add more job positions within these neighborhoods,” says Goldstein. “In particular we are delving into areas that are in need of increased stability. We are thrilled to be in a position to provide continued employment opportunities to a great pool of skilled labor and people ready to work hard.”
