After a few quiet years, momentum is building again in Philadelphia’s office market. Stateside Brands move into 34,200 SF at 1100 Ludlow is just one example of companies making long-term commitments to Center City. According to JLL, tenant demand jumped nearly 50% year-over-year in Q3 — a strong signal that confidence is returning and hybrid work is here to stay.
We’re seeing that same energy firsthand around Walnut Street and Midtown Village. At The Philadelphia Building (1315 Walnut), new leasing activity is under way — tenants are drawn to its prime location, character, and amenities that align with what today’s workforce expects. Add to that several tenant representation assignments in the Market West corridor, and the picture is clear: companies are looking for well-located offices that better fit how teams work now.
The real story isn’t just about trophy towers, it’s about reinvestment and adaptability. Owners willing to upgrade and reimagine their spaces are capturing attention from tenants ready to make long-term decisions again.
It feels like the early innings of a comeback — and we’re excited to help shape what’s next for Philly’s workplaces.
