This gives University City
a whole new energy
Here is our vision — to create a corridor of commercial and
retail space certified LEED Platinum on Market Street between 38th
and 42nd. One that embraces and enriches the surrounding community,
creates local jobs, attracts organizations hungry for innovation and
talent. In all, six additional LEED Platinum office and retail buildings
are in the works.
The University
City section of
Philadelphia
is buzzing with
activity
This is a dynamic, fast-moving hub of innovation, entrepreneurial drive, science and tech, world-class universities and medical institutions. Of hip eateries, food trucks and farmers' markets. Of arts and culture; events and entertainment.
All of which make University City a magnet for smart, energetic young millennials eager for a fast-paced, culturally-rich environment from which to launch their quest to change the world. And who place a high value on working for companies that espouse the same ethos of corporate and environmental responsibility.
Even getting around is revolutionary
Biking is big here. Well-lit, dedicated bike lanes
filled with people sharing Indego bikes connect
University City to Center City and the Schuylkill River
Recreation Trail.
SEPTA's 40th Street Station connects with 30th
Street University City Station, Amtrak, SEPTA'S Regional Rail
service and Philadelphia International Airport (PHL).
