“1735 Market St. continues to attract the top companies in Philadelphia,” said Jeremy Moss, executive vice president at Silverstein Props. “As business leaders look to get the most out of their office space, conveniently located, well amenitized buildings like 1735 will be their first choice.”

Owned by Silverstein Properties and Arden Group, the 54-story, 1,286,936 s/f building is the crown jewel of the Philadelphia Central Business District, and one of the premier office buildings in the U.S. Tenants include Akin Gump, Ballard Spahr, Boston Consulting Group, BNY Mellon, Brandywine Global, Fidelity, Goldman Sachs, and Willis Towers Watson. The building is recognized for its trademark pyramid crowned top and lobby that is accessible from both Market St. and JFK Blvd., which are among Philadelphia’s most prominent avenues.

Silverstein and Arden just completed capital improvements to the Market Street entrance and lobby, including the replacement of existing monument sides on the north and south faces to provide increased signage opportunities for tenants. Additional improvements included repainting the steel supporting the building’s iconic rooftop pyramid, upgrades to LED lighting, and a multi-phase project to improve the quality of elevator rides. Silverstein and Arden installed new MERV-13 air filtration systems to improve the building’s air quality, a COVID-era protocol the developer chose to make permanent.

Across Silverstein Properties’ portfolio, tenants now have access to a new hospitality program, INSPIRE, offering premier hotel-quality amenities, community events, fitness classes, and access to every amenity space and flexible co-working space in the Silverstein portfolio, allowing customers to choose the best work environment for their needs. Last year, Silverstein and Arden hired a hospitality ambassador for the Lounge @ 1735 Market, a tenant-only amenity floor that offers a blend of shared workspace, conference rooms, lounge space, entertainment areas and outdoor space.
