This is really huge news. Surprised it hasn't gotten more attention. Probably because the lack of Size 4 font

Anyways, here is more from PhillyMag with renderings as well:

Groundbreaking: Another LEED Certified Building Coming to The Navy Yard





Quote:
The boom at the Navy Yard continues to thunder on, as Liberty Property Trust, the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation and Synterra Partners officially unveiled their plans for the 16th development inside the dynamic, and ever-growing urban office park.

Adaptimmune, a clincial stage biopharmaceutical company that specializes on the use T-cell therapy to treat cancer, will use the new 47,400-square-foot facility located at 351 Rouse Boulevard as its U.S. headquarters. The LEED certified building will overlook the new Central Green fun/exercise park and is expected to be delivered sometime in late 2016.

Though Adaptimmune started across the pond in Oxford, United Kingdom in 2008, it has distinct Philly ties, as it was developed through a partnership with the University of Pennsylvania. "This exciting new Philadelphia facility allows us to expand our clinical and early commercial manufacturing and control associated costs in anticipation of the commercialization of our product candidates."said James Noble, the company's CEO, in a press release. "The location provides us with an environment that promotes strong business growth and innovation, as well as access to a rich pool of scientific and clinical talent that we will use to place more than 110 new jobs to the area in the near future.”

Hospitality firm expands to Phila., plans to bring more restaurants

A Pittsburgh-based hospitality brokerage firm has expanded its footprint into Philadelphia's market, and it is bringing its clients with it.

Sofranko Advisory Group has recently opened up offices in Center City. The company specializes in consulting, financing, restaurant brokerage, and liquor license brokerage and financing.

The hospitality brokerage firm also has statewide clients that include six-unit concept Walnut Grill, Mount Lebanon-based Il Pizzaiolo , and W arrendale -based dining and entertainment venue Jergel's Rhythm Grille.

"I would love to bring them to Philadelphia," Sofranko said.

The group also supports concepts like House of 1000 Beers, Bistro 9101, Tapped Brick Oven & Pour House, and Firepit Wood Fired Grill.

There are no immediate plans to bring these restaurants to Philadelphia. First the company will try to plant its roots down in the city.
