PHILADELPHIA—Liberty Property Trust, Synterra Partners and PIDC say that Central Green, the dynamic park located in the center of the revitalized and redeveloped Navy Yard, has received multiple awards for design and development, just as Liberty/Synterra's newest building overlooking the park, 1200 Intrepid Avenue, is scheduled to come on line. Honors for excellence in design and development were received from ArchDaily, Architizer and ULI Philadelphia. Central Green, which opened one year ago, was designed by James Corner Field Operations and developed in a joint investment by Liberty Property/Synterra, PIDC, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. “Central Green is an excellent illustration of how to successfully redefine the intersection of work and play which, in turn, has helped to further advance The Navy Yard as one of the most compelling work environments in the country," says Brian Cohen, vice president and city manager of Liberty Property Trust. "We are thrilled that the design and development communities have recognized Central Green, a place that remains a key draw for employees working here and companies looking to call The Navy Yard home.” It has also been one year since Liberty Property/Synterra broke ground on the now nearly complete 94,000 square foot office building at 1200 Intrepid Avenue. It is the first building in Philadelphia to be designed by Bjarke Ingels Group. This summer, Penn Capital Management will occupy 26,000 square feet in the building, with the remaining 68,000 square feet of office space available for lease.
