it's gonna fill a lot, and bring some density, and it fits the area.
Work has brought me though this intersection a few times recently and I agree that this will fit the area very well. The north side of arch is brick rowhomes. To the south of this building there’s glass high rises. Ive changed my mind and now like the design.

We had a rough idea of what to expect design-wise, with older renderings showing a rectangular glass and brick structure. But with a trip to Civic Design Review planned for October, new design details have been dropped for this slightly altered office proposal. Plans from developers Parkway Corporation still call for 18 floors, with a slight height reduction to 257 feet from 260 feet in the past.

This by-right project will contain nearly half a million square feet of space across the 18 floors and will consist exclusively of office use. A small terrace facing north will pair with a green roof on the ninth floor and two levels of below-grade parking will include 78 spaces (a bit much for our taste given the short trek to both 30th Street and Suburban Station). The ground level will be open and bright for passersby, with a first floor retail space on the southeastern corner of the site. Parking is accessed on the north side of the site and loading on the south side...

Naked Philly’s RACP Funding Top Ten Countdown: 5-1

Quote:
1. 2000 Arch – Chubb HQ ($10.0m received out of $10.0m asked)
And for the top entry of our Top Ten (drum roll please), we make our way to Logan Square, where a surface parking lot is getting a major upgrade. Insurance giant Chubb is building a new HQ at 2000-24 Arch St. to consolidate their business operations and they received a whopping $10 million from this round of funding. This office tower will also offer ground-level retail space, further activating a relatively dead block. While we might question why a multinational insurance company with more than $200 billion in assets needs additional assistance from the state, this capital injection should hopefully expedite the construction for this welcome addition to the neighborhood.

Realistically there will never be 3,200 people there all at once. Based there, probably, but on any given day office occupancy - especially since covid - is going to be a decent bit below that number. If each employee works remotely one day a week, that number is already down to 2,560 (assuming evenly distributed which it wouldn't be but you get the point). Add in vacations, sick days, business travel, people working remotely MORE than once a week... and it's less still. Either way, 1,200 new corporate jobs ain't nothing to scoff at. Really excited about this one and it blocking Kennedy House from most angles.

Excited to see this one go up.

Behind Chubb's move to double down on office space with new $430M Philadelphia tower

Quote:
n mid-2019, Chubb searched for a new Center City office location. Three-and-a-half years later, the giant insurance company finally unveiled its plans last week for a $430 million tower at 2000 Arch St.

In between, a global pandemic halted any planning for more than a year. Companies’ office usage changed dramatically. Rather than shrinking its desired footprint, Chubb (NYSE: CB) doubled down. After initially seeking about 400,000 square feet, Chubb signed a 23-year lease for 438,000 square feet in a yet-to-be-built building.

“We are true believers in building relationships and the benefits of face-to-face contact that being in an office offers,” Chubb President and COO John Keogh said at last week’s announcement. “We thrive at Chubb being with one another. And we thrive on being part of a city, particularly a vibrant city like Philadelphia.”

Chubb says the project will house 3,200 employees, including 1,250 new positions. Chubb currently has 1,700 employees split between a 361,000-square-foot building it owns at 436 Walnut St. and 140,000 square feet it leases in a building at 510 Walnut St.

Partnering with Parkway on a new building in Philadelphia was an emphatic statement about the company’s feelings on office space. Construction is planned to begin in early 2023 and scheduled to open in 2026.

“We’re making this move because we believe in this city, its people and the opportunity that it provides,” Keogh said.
