Out of nowhere with a mystery tenant... :sly:

If an admin could tag this as Philly it'd be much appreciated. |

I can't wait for this to begin! :cheers: |
This is positive. Build it! You are not going to get a 500 footer here. Street level design is interesting enough. Good infill project for sure.
|
It may well be "boxy" yet is thankfully not a box. The strong street level horizontal lines, when encapsulated by the reddish-brown framing, nicely suggest the white banding elements of the older building in foreground.

Anyone realize how different this area is going to feel with a tower here? Right now it's like a deadzone in between Logan Square and Market. |
What company is supposed to move in there? I've reached my limit on Philly.com views, does the article say?

I think American Airlines turning PHL into its main European gateway certainly helped land Chubb here. There's not a ton of non-stop destinations from Zurich (Chubbs global HQ) so having that non-stop route put Philly on a shortlist of potential locations.
Hopefully we see this trend continue with additional US HQs of European companies. |

Londonee, Ace bought CHUBB but kept the name CHUBB because it was more prestigious. Their headquarters is in Philly now not NJ. I believe they still have the office in NJ but it is being downsized significantly. (A friend of mine works there, Ace----> Chubb). So more than likely they are looking to downsize what is left of the NJ office and consolidate it with the philly offices. My understanding is the NJ office is much smaller than it once was.

Looks like a building you would see in Downtown DC.

Definitely not offensive by any measure. Some nice setbacks and variations to the traditional rectangular box. Build it. Overall net positive. |
Interesting bit about this building in this PlanPhilly article
