Century Therapeutics Inc. has expanded the amount of space it will occupy at One uCity Square to 90,000 square feet.
The fast-growing company initially signed in 2020 to take a single floor totaling 32,500 square feet in the building in the University City neighborhood of Philadelphia. Century will now occupy space across the top three floors of the 13-story building that is under construction.
The $280 million, 400,000-square-foot One uCity is being developed in partnership among the University City Science Center, Wexford Science & Technology and Ventas Inc. With the Century expansion, the building is 45% leased.
“Century is a great example of a company that came into Philadelphia, saw the benefits of coming to Philadelphia and has grown here,” said John Grady, senior vice president at Wexford. “It continues to validate uCity Square as a place where companies can grow.”
The Wexford development team is expected to break ground this fall on another life sciences nearby building that will total around 200,000 square feet.
Two Locals Brewing Co., Philadelphia’s first Black-owned brewery, has signed a lease for a brewery and taproom at uCity Square, a mixed-use development on the Drexel University campus at 37th and Market Streets in University City.
Brothers Richard and Mengistu Koilor, whose beers are now being contract-brewed out of Mainstay Independent Brewing in Northern Liberties, hope to open in summer 2023.
