A 266,000-square-foot office building in Philadelphia’s central business district is being considered for a partial residential conversion.

Recently, a zoning permit was approved for an entity affiliated with Philadelphia-based ASI Management. As a result, 45 residential apartments are planned for floors 17 through 20 at 1880 John F. Kennedy Boulevard.

Meanwhile, the building’s first 16 floors would remain office space, according to zoning documents. This mixed-use approach allows the property’s existing office operations to continue.

Originally constructed in 1985, the building fits a broader trend seen across Center City. Increasingly, office properties built during the 1970s and 1980s are being repositioned through partial residential conversions.

Notably, the property is located just northwest of Ten Penn Center at 1801 Market Street. That nearby building was acquired in November by PMC Property Group, with similar conversion plans announced.

Overall, the proposal reflects a continued shift in how aging office buildings are being adapted to meet evolving market demand in Philadelphia.
