Two Liberty Place

Two Liberty Place is a high-rise tower in Center City Philadelphia that stands 258 meters tall across 58 floors. The building houses office spaces on lower levels and luxury residences on upper floors, with a steel frame wrapped in granite, aluminum, and reflective glass panels.

Two Liberty Place was completed in 1990 as the second structure in Philadelphia to surpass City Hall in height. Its completion came after a shift in city regulations that had long restricted building heights downtown.

The building's construction challenged Philadelphia's traditional height restrictions, leading to discussions about urban development and historical preservation within the city.

The tower combines office and residential functions in one structure, serving both business and living purposes. You can enjoy viewing it from street level and appreciate how it shapes the city skyline from different locations downtown.

Architect Helmut Jahn designed the tower with a reflective glass exterior that shifts in appearance throughout the day. This ever-changing visual quality makes it a dynamic element of the urban landscape.
