The company paid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/two-equity-commonwealth-office-assets-fetch-670m\/\">$160 million to Equity Commonwealth<\/a> for the 825,968-square-foot asset. At the time it changed hands, the property was 82 percent leased. American Real Estate Partners has leased more than 100,000 square feet in the tower since acquiring it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Also known as the PNC Building, the tower has served as the bank\u2019s regional headquarters since 1996. PNC is currently taking up 233,411 square feet of office space at the address. In 2019, the bank dropped nearly 120,000 square feet of space after a lease renegotiation. The current agreement is set to expire in 2031, according to CommercialEdge data. The tenant roster also includes law firms, engineering consultants and real estate agencies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last year, the 1982-built property underwent $15 million worth of renovations. The owner initially planned to reposition the tower through cosmetic upgrades but, with the onset of the pandemic, plans shifted to include updates to the air circulation and purification systems as well as the introduction of contactless technology. The renovations brought 1600 Market St. Wired Score Gold certification and UL Industries Verified Healthy Building Mark.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The property includes a fitness center, shared conference center, game area and ground-floor restaurant and offers easy access to Center City\u2019s dining and entertainment venues. The tower is also one block from 15th Street Subway Station and the City Hall.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Life sciences brings office stability<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As of December, Philadelphia had 14.3 percent of its office inventory available for lease. The figure is 120 basis points below the national vacancy rate, the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/return-to-office-plans-stall-again\/\">CommercialEdge report<\/a> shows. The office market is largely supported by the metro\u2019s expanding life science sector, which has been mostly unaffected by the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In March of last year, a partnership between Ensemble Real Estate Investments and Mosaic Development Partners was selected by PIDC to develop two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/life-sciences-buildings-to-launch-400m-navy-yard-1st-phase\/\">new life science buildings within Navy Yard<\/a>, a $2.5 billion masterplan development in Philadelphia. At full buildout, the development will encompass more than <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">1 million square feet of life science space<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moderate optimism regarding the market\u2019s recovery is fueled by next year\u2019s wave of lease expirations, which should last until 2025, a fourth-quarter JLL report highlighted. Despite the lingering uncertainty, capital is still flowing toward traditional office buildings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last year, a flurry of properties in Philadelphia\u2019s CBD landed refinancing deals. In August, Landmark received <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/landmark-philly-tower-lands-80m-refi\/\">$80 million to refinance 123 S. Broad St<\/a>., a 705,500-square-foot office building in the Midtown Village district. PCCP provided the loan, which included $4.1 million for capital improvements.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PNC Bank has anchored the property since 1996.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1366,"featured_media":1004567738,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21825,21742,10],"tags":[33096,42050,32796,34029],"class_list":["post-1004567730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-finance","category-latest","category-northeast","tag-american-real-estate-partners","tag-cary-abod","tag-jll","tag-natixis"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
