The 80,050-square-foot, Class A office building is located on 4.4 acres just south of the Courtyard by Marriott (currently under construction) and will front a newly developed 5-acre park with various recreational amenities.

This project represents the beginning of the next phase of one of the nations most successful new work environments, said Bill Hankowsky, Chief Executive Officer, Liberty Property Trust.

Seven of those projects, which have been LEED certified by the U.S. Green Building Council, have been developed in partnership with Synterra Partners. 201 Rouse Boulevard will mark the eighth high performance building and is designed to achieve LEED Gold certification under the Core & Shell rating system. Liberty anticipates delivering the building in the first quarter of 2015.

The new Franklin Square headquarters adds to the continuing development and growth of The Navy Yard, and further demonstrates the vitality and attractiveness of the campus environment created over the last decade.

From the time that Liberty and Synterra broke ground on the bakery for Tasty Baking Company in 2007, the partnership has continuously had at least one active project under construction over the last six years and that momentum continues with the start of construction on 201 Rouse Blvd.

The Navy Yards vibrant, progressive, and environmentally sustainable culture continues to attract progressive growing companies such as Franklin Square Capital Partners, said Alan Greenberger, Deputy Mayor for Economic Development for the City of Philadelphia. The continued commitment to sustainable, high quality development by Liberty Property Trust and Synterra Partners, supported by a design and construction team whom are all Philadelphia based, is a testament that Philadelphia is leading the way with world class development to support world class companies.
