Five Penn Center is a 36-story highrise inCenter City Philadelphia. It is part of thePenn Center complex designed byEdmund Bacon. The building was one of the tallest in the city until the high rise building boom of the late 1980s and early 1990s and is connected via underground concourse toSuburban Station, as are all buildings in the complex.
It was designed byEmery Roth & Sons andVincent G. Kling (who also designed thePhiladelphia Mint).[1]
In 1986, several buildings of the Penn Center complex were renamed to their street addresses and Five Penn was no exception. Looking to get an edge up, being the largest of the Penn Center buildings and directly across Market Street fromOne Liberty Place, which was rising at the time, building landlords offered rental space at $16.01 a year per square foot, a marketing ploy for the building based on its address, 1601.
Today, major tenants include The Neat Company,KPMG andWeWork. The building's lobby underwent remodeling in the summer of 2006.
