Cira Centre South, Skyscraper in University City, Philadelphia, United States.
Cira Centre South is a modern skyscraper in University City that serves as an office and residential complex. The glass-clad building shapes the neighborhood's skyline while housing workspaces, apartments, and shops within its structure.
Construction started in 2013 with the first tower and continued in 2014 with additional phases. This development marked a turning point for the neighborhood's transformation into a mixed-use urban center.
The building represents a transformation of University City's landscape, connecting academic institutions with commercial enterprises through modern architecture.
The complex is easily walkable and well-connected by public transit with subway and bus options. Visitors can access the main entrances clearly and explore the public areas freely without restrictions.
A major corporation serves as the primary tenant and holds the naming rights to the building. This partnership shapes the identity of the complex and grounds it firmly in the local business landscape.
