The development of the former U.S. postal lands over the past decade has transformed the eastern edge of campus. With its sustainable LEED Silver certified design, location adjacent to Philadelphia’s most robust transportation hub and innovative mix of commercial, residential and retail space, the FMC Tower serves as a dramatic model of pioneering urban development in Philadelphia and as a gateway to the dynamic educational, healthcare and entrepreneurial institutions in University City.

A longstanding partner in the Cira Centre® South development, the University of Pennsylvania owns the ground upon which FMC Tower is constructed.  Brandywine and Penn have executed a long-term ground lease for the lot, as well as a 20-year lease through which Penn will occupy approximately 100,000 square feet of office space at the tower.
