The newly expanded retail and dining district announces plans for a festive programming calendar

Center City’s transformation into a 24-hour downtown is reflected in its burgeoning retail scene, with residential, convention and tourism growth expanding beyond the historic customer base of office, education and health care employees and students.

Storefront occupancy is rising in key corridors. Occupancy ticks down due to major brands contracting nationwide, but growth continues on Walnut Street and East Market corridors.

CCD works year-round to make downtown welcoming, brighter, safer, and more accessible by providing landscaping services, lighting, directional signs, and banners.

The CPDC is pleased to announce the appointment of four distinguished real estate and business leaders to its Board of Directors’ Executive Committee. These new members bring exceptional expertise to help advance CPDC's mission of promoting economic growth and development in Center City Philadelphia.

With the end of winter less than a month away, Center City District (CCD) is planning for continuous outdoor entertainment with spring events and attractions in Dilworth Park, Sister Cities Park and Cret Park. The Rothman Orthopaedics Ice Rink and Cabin are now closed for the season, but the Wintergarden on the Greenfield Lawn presented by TD Bank will remain open through April 3 with weekly programming for families.

The Rothman Orthopaedics Ice Rink and Cabin are now closed in Dilworth Park as Center City District (CCD) landscaping and parks staff prepare for the arrival of spring. Seasonal updates include the return of park fountains, flowers and foliage as well as the Rothman Orthopedics Roller Rink.
