1650 Arch Street - Rebranding an Old Gem!

1650

1650 Arch Street had potential - a building with "good bones" in a great location.  With this in mind, Behringer Harvard in conjunction with Jones Lang LaSalle, charged Meyer Design to reposition and rebrand this asset to make it a favored contender in the Center City "Class A" office market.  The Meyer team's new design of the building's facade and interior entrance will transfom 1650 Arch Street into a striking office building.  The ultimate result - increased building value and new tenants.   Construction is anticipated to begin in late October.

City Projects
Following up on recent tenant rep successes with Wolters Kluwer, Starcite, and Aberdeen, Meyer Design is currently working with the following tenants on test fits, building selection and ultimately, the design of their new spaces in Center City Philadelphia.

The Challenge - combining two very different corporate cultures into one office and delivering a project at the breakneck pace of four months  from programming through construction
 
An outsourcing partnership agreement with Morgan Stanley led State Street to consolidate into a new office at 300 Berwyn Park, Berwyn, PA.  Meyer worked with State Street's Boston-based real estate team and CBRE's brokerage and project management team to deliver this project on a tight deadline.  State Street's new office is a very clean, contemporary space with a shift from private offices to an open work environment.
