We Have the Talent and the Space.

We’ve got a smart workforce built right in. Our top universities produce 90,000 graduates each year. Our medical and research institutions are national leaders in healthcare, doing cutting-edge research and generating a vibrant tech and life sciences scene.

Center City is home to 42% of Philadelphia jobs: 309,471 wage and salaried workers; 9,500 freelancers or those compensated as partners. 

We’re rich in talent, but our office spaces are surprisingly affordable. We have 40 million square feet of high-performance, healthy office buildings and 500,000 square feet of coworking space. We’re home to 21st-century offices and renovated industrial lofts, all available for a fraction of the cost.

Accessibility

Just a 10- or 15-minute walk or bike ride from best-in-class office spaces are a dozen diverse and affordable downtown neighborhoods with new apartments, historic townhouses, luxury condos, gyms, parks, quality schools and hundreds of restaurants with award-winning local chefs. Subways, trolleys and buses expand neighborhood choices, while rail lines reach out to leafy green neighborhoods, both within the city and around it—most just a 30-minute trip from downtown.

More than 1 million regional workers live within one mile of a rail station with stops in both Center City and University City, giving employers easy access to a 360-degree labor market.

Along with easy rail and airline connects, you never have to go far to get where you’re going.

Quality of Life—in the Office and Out

Employees of Center City companies benefit from having an exceptional quality of life at a much lower cost of living. A Center City homeowner earning $131,578 (the average wage of an office worker in Philadelphia) would need to earn 36% more in Boston; 44% more in Washington, D.C.; and 115% more in New York City to enjoy the same standard of living. 

While you provide the office culture, we’ll provide an extraordinary range of museums and galleries; a vibrant downtown restaurant scene; and walkable, affordable neighborhoods too.

24-Hour Downtown

Center City is a thriving, 24-hour downtown with a wide range of vibrant urban living and entertainment choices. Almost $9 billion in major downtown developments have been recently completed or are currently in the pipeline. 

Center City has the second-largest downtown residential population in the country, behind only Manhattan. Among downtown residents, 60% have a bachelor’s degree or higher, rising to 78% in the central core.

Innovation Center

In 2020, Philadelphia ranked fourth nationally in NIH grants, attracting $1.1 billion for cutting-edge medical research. Combined research spending at Drexel, Temple, Thomas Jefferson and the University of Pennsylvania totaled $2 billion in 2018. And along with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, those institutions applied for 391 patents.
