Two Liberty Place
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Two Liberty Place is the second tallest skyscraper in Philadelphia, and the 31st tallest in the United States, stretching 58 floors to 848 ft (258m). The tower was completed in 1990, and is the last major skyscraper in Pennsylvania to be completed to date. Two Liberty Place is the smaller sister building to nearby One Liberty Place. Both buildings were designed by Helmut Jahn of Murphy/Jahn Architects. In June 2002, the Shorenstein Company acquired the building for just over US$200 million.
Though primarily an office building, plans have been put forward by private equity firm America's Capital Partner to convert the top 20 floors, or roughly 400,000 square feet, of the building from office space to into luxury condominiums. The main lobby is currently undergoing major reconstruction to separate the office employees from the residents, as well as to add a valet entrance.[1]
Its official address is 1601 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103.
