Flaster Greenberg upsizing and relocating Center City office in sublease agreement with another firm

Flaster Greenberg has signed an eight-year lease to relocate its Philadelphia office to Three Logan Square, where it will take 16,000 square feet of space on the 33rd floor and have an option to absorb the remaining 4,000 square feet to accommodate potential growth. 

Financial terms of the deal were not revealed. The move becomes effective on Feb. 1.

Since October 2016, the Cherry Hill-based law firm has occupied 10,000 square feet at 1835 Market. Co-Managing Partner Jordan LaVine said the firm had originally signed a five-year lease at 1835 Market. It was set to expire this past Jan. 31 but the firm asked for a one-year extension to see how the office space market shook out post-pandemic.

LaVine said Flaster looked at numerous options but ultimately went with Three Logan partly because it was already fitted for a law firm. Flaster is subletting the space from Reed Smith, which signed a long-term lease in 2011 on 115,000 square feet on floors 28 through 33 at the signature office building. It moved in 2014. The Philadelphia Business Journal reported earlier this year that Reed Smith was looking to give-back some space at Three Logan.

Reed Smith Chief Operating Officer Nick Bagiatis said in a statement the firm will downsize from six floors to five in the building.

New Morgan Lewis tower on time, on budget but with some tweaks to the interior

Chubb Ltd. Offices for Philadelphia

More than a year after breaking ground on 2222 Market St., a new $200 million Center City headquarters for Morgan Lewis, the building marked its topping off and provided enough time for the law firm to make some adjustments to its interior design to reflect the new normal of office work.

The firm did not undertake a wholesale revamp of the 305,000-square-foot building as a result of the pandemic but tweaked the office space to take into account some aspects of how employees are currently working and are likely to in the future. For example, the 19-story headquarters will now have remote hearing rooms outfitted with specific technology to accommodate seamless interactions for virtual court proceedings between attorneys and their clients.

Dedicated Zoom rooms will also be incorporated into the new office space. “What we really want to do is if someone is working remotely and someone is in the office, we want them to feel connected and valued,” said Sarah E. Bouchard, managing partner of the firm’s Philadelphia office.

Harsco Corp.’s HQ move from Camp Hill to Center City puts it near ‘larger and diverse talent pool’

Chubb Ltd. Offices for Philadelphia

Harsco Corp., a global company that processes industrial waste and supplies equipment for the construction of railway tracks, is relocating its headquarters to Philadelphia and will leave Camp Hill, where it has been based since 1870.

The company leased 22,550 square feet at Two Logan Square.

Harsco joins Rite Aid Corp., another Camp Hill company, moving its headquarters to Philadelphia. The retailer plans to occupy 23,500 square feet at 1200 Intrepid Ave. at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.

While Philadelphia will gain two corporations, the loss of two major employers is a blow to Camp Hill, a small community in Cumberland County, which is just outside of Harrisburg.

Harsco (NYSE: HSC) already has a presence in the Philadelphia area. In 2020, it completed a $462.5 million acquisition, its largest, to buy Stericycle Inc.’s environmental solutions business, which had been in Horsham. That business provides hazardous waste transportation and processing.

MLP Ventures buys two more buildings in King of Prussia for $41.8M, plans to convert one into lab space

Center City Return to Work

MLP Ventures has acquired two office buildings at Renaissance Park in King of Prussia for $41.8 million, adding to the company’s real estate holdings in that part of Upper Merion. 

MLP bought 2201 Renaissance Blvd., a 133,880-square-foot building on 15 acres, for $27.9 million, or $208 a square foot, and 2100 Renaissance Blvd., a 98,726-square-foot building on nine acres, for $13.9 million, or $140 a square foot. 

The Newtown Square company bought the buildings in 2018 as part of a larger portfolio acquisition that involved seven properties. 

MLP, now based in Radnor, plans to relocate its headquarters and related companies into 2201 Renaissance. Purolite Corp. occupies 12,500 square feet in the building and MLP will fill out the remaining space.

Exclusive: GSK moving out of Philadelphia Navy Yard to smaller space at FMC Tower

Chubb Ltd. Offices for Philadelphia

GlaxoSmithKline is relocating corporate operations now based at the Philadelphia Navy Yard into FMC Tower at Cira Centre South in University City, joining the University of Pennsylvania and Spark Therapeutics in the building and bringing it closer to one of the city’s burgeoning life sciences hubs. 

The global pharmaceutical company will be leasing 46,000 square feet at the skyscraper and shrink from 207,779 square feet it occupies at a four-story building at Five Crescent Drive at the Navy Yard. Prior to the pandemic, GSK had 660 employees working each day from the Navy Yard and it expects up to 330 employees to work from FMC Tower.

GSK (NYSE: GSK) will occupy floors 16 and 17 at FMC Tower that Brandywine Realty Trust has occupied for the last four years as its headquarters. Brandywine will relocate into space that had been occupied by Dechert, a law firm, in Cira Centre. Brandywine, which built and owns FMC Tower and Cira Centre, declined comment. 

In 2011, GSK signed a 15-year lease on the Navy Yard building, which was designed for it, and completed its move there in early 2013. It was a big deal for the company when it decided to move to the South Philadelphia site and considered pioneering to relocate from offices it had been in for decades in Center City.

After 30 years in Chesterbrook, AmerisourceBergen opens new headquarters in Conshohocken

Chubb Ltd. Offices for Philadelphia

AmerisourceBergen Corp. has moved into its new headquarters in Conshohocken and exited Chesterbrook, where it spent the last three decades growing into what is now a Fortune 500 company with $189.9 billion in revenue. 

The 11-story, 429,122-square-foot office building at 1 W. First Ave. is part of Keystone Property Group’s $325 million Sora West mixed-use development that also includes a hotel and the conversion of an historic fire house into two restaurants. 

At its new headquarters, AmerisourceBergen (NYSE: ABC) consolidated the corporate offices it had at 1300 and 1400 Morris Road in Chesterbrook that totaled 190,000 square feet and space in Conshohocken, where it occupied 105,000 square feet in one of the Millennium buildings. 

For all of the consternation the pandemic cast over the future of the office, several Philadelphia-area companies tossed those worries aside and, like AmerisourceBergen, forged ahead with opening or planning new headquarters in recent months. 

For example, Myonex, a clinical trial supply company, completed a $20 million, 65,000-square-foot building in the Keith Valley Business Center and has room to expand; Hamilton Lane moved into its new headquarters in Seven Tower Bridge in Conshohocken though it was a floor smaller than originally planned; Morgan Lewis has a new headquarters under development in Center City; and Rite Aid Corp. announced it would relocate its headquarters into 23,500 square feet at the Philadelphia Navy Yard from Camp Hill.

Rite Aid Corp. to move HQ to Philadelphia Navy Yard

Rite Aid Corp. will relocate its headquarters to the Philadelphia Navy Yard, after having spent decades based in Camp Hill.

The company leased 23,500 square feet at 1200 Intrepid Ave. and will open what it is calling an “enterprise headquarters” as part of an effort to redefine how it envisions its employees working as a result of the pandemic. 

Rite Aid is moving to a “remote-first work approach for corporate associates, supported by a network of collaboration centers throughout the company’s geographic footprint,” the company said in a statement. “The reimagined workplace model focuses on flexibility for associates, while also creating an official headquarters space in Philadelphia designed specifically for in-person collaboration and company gatherings, rather than office spaces.”

The company has 2,800 corporate employees and a representative from Rite Aid said the number of people working out of the Philadelphia Navy Yard will fluctuate. The move will take place in the first half of 2022. 

“It’s a vibrant area and it’s an exciting place to be,” said Brad Ducey, a company spokesman. “It’s central and easy for employees, partners, clients.”

Rite Aid is No. 132 on the most recent Fortune 500 list. The company reported revenue last year of $24 billion.
