This four-story, 85,000-square-foot multitenant office building is the first
new construction within our firm's master plan for 522 acres of the 1,000-acre
Philadelphia Navy Yard. This building will be joined by two future companions on
the curved drive that frames the new Crescent Park at the entrance to the Navy
Yard from Center City Philadelphia. The building faces the park with a curved
glass facade and an atrium that brings natural light to the center of the office
floors. The building's east, south, and west facades are clad in precast panels
that with their deep red color and ashlar jointing pattern pick up the sandstone
and terra cotta palette of the buildings in the Navy Yard's adjacent historic
district.The building achieved LEED™ Platinum certification. Its sustainable
design features include a high thermal-performance envelope, energy recovery
HVAC systems, natural light in over 90% of the building's floor area, and
extensive use of recycled materials and sustainable construction techniques
throughout.
