PHILADELPHIA, PA—Liberty Property Trust and joint venture partner Synterra Partners are launching a new 94,000 square foot office building at the Navy Yard, the first in Philadelphia to be designed by the world-renowned Bjarke Ingels Group. The partnership is also developing an adjacent five-acre park, Central Green, in which it partnered with the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Central Green was designed by James Corner Field Operations, a landscape architect whose notable projects include Philadelphia's Race Street Pier and New York City's High Line. It's the sixth park added to the Navy Yard.
“We are redefining the intersection of work and play,” says John Gattuso, Liberty Property Trust senior vice president and regional director. “With the help of two extremely talented design teams, we further advance the reality of The Navy Yard as one of the most compelling work environments in the Philadelphia region. Increasingly, The Navy Yard is a place where employees want to work and businesses from around the world want to call home.”
