Center City, Philadelphia, like many other cities has benefited from the real estate development frenzy and has been experiencing a residential development boom. However, growth has been accelerated by the use of tax breaks for residential developments and not by sub-prime lending, which has caused housing crises throughout the country. Philadelphia real estate market was named one of most stable in the United States, in 2007 by Forbes Magazine. It is also one of the only places in the country to offer a citywide 10-year tax-abatement program. The tax-abatement program, which started with residential conversions in 1997 and expanded to new construction in 2000, holds the tax assessment at a fraction of what would be if not under the program, keeping it at a property's predevelopment level for 10 years. According to a report released by the Center City District, from the time that tax abatements were passed, more than 8,000 converted and new units will have been added to Center City, and half of all new residents benefiting from tax abatements came from outside the city.
