Is there news / movement on this project?

Not to get too far ahead of ourselves, but Cira 3 would be great news simply for the fact that it gives us hope that another beautiful glass shard may be coming our way sometime in the future. The Cira buildings are a beautiful collection of towers and I'm happy that Cira 2 may not be the last one. On the other hand, Brandywine owns many valuable parcels in CC but unlike their properties around 30th Street Station, those are not located in KOZ. They may direct their resources for office building to the Cira complex and residential towards CC. Who knows. Thrilled to see Cira 2 happening!!! |

PS-Thanks to SummersM for showing me and others how to track down the "orphan" Philly threads via an advanced search. It's not convenient, but it's good not to miss the conversations on some important projects that aren't on the regional list.

Is GE still looking to move? What a perfect tower and location this would be for them. Also, just like Cira South with the right tenant I think this tower will get a height increase.

Little tidbit today in Hidden City's article on 2100 Market

If I had the choice, I rather see Cira 3 built before 2100 Market.

I'm really liking this development very much.
Listen, I still would like to see Market East rezoned to accept skyscrapers.Now, before we get into this any further, I acknowledge that some forumers would love to compare the 30th Street station with Penn Station, but let's be realistic here. It's a different city with a common vision. Cira II is going to expand the skyline. What I would like to know are more details, such as public access, observation deck, dining, etc. |

would really like to see this and the riverwalk development come to fuition. then the Drexel innovation nabe extending
With 2000 Market can we get the 2200 lot on market developed. That should be the next super-tall |
I think its safe to say Cira 3 isnt going to happen unless they can lure a huge tenant from out of the area. i think 2100 market is much more likely to go forward since its mixed use.

Just asking , thats all ...........

Hey summers , I sort of remember you stating there would be some info about the progress of this tower on or near the 4th. of November ....... How's that working out ?? Secondly , you mentioned the possibility of a 400+/- high rise somewhere on East Market . Anything new on that proposal ?? Wish it was for my favorite sore spot ( 8th.&Market ) but I doubt it . |
Cira II Supertall rumors from a really cool guy that was easy to talk to.

I am a little skeptical of this though. In 20-40 years we will have a 2nd central business district, once the Rail yard capping is complete. Thats exciting and hard to comprehend right now. Driving up 76 will be like driving directly through the city core. Hope someone caps the rail yard in front of FMC soon too. |
Can Summers or someone in the know advise what they think the actual possibilities are of this one getting built?

Cira 2 does a very good job of enhancing the 30th St area!!! I'd like to see it be the tallest tower so far west of the Schuylkill!!! The parcel at 30th and Market, is perfect for a supertall, can anybody say 3000+ ft??? :skyhighmind: Imagine the tallest building in the world in the place where freedom began, right here in Philadelphia!!!
