Independence Collection, Philadelphia

Independence Collection is a collection of three distinguished office buildings and a parking garage in Philadelphia’s Market Street East neighborhood within Center City.

The buildings total 702,014 square feet of office, retail, and parking. MRP purchased the collection in December, 2015 and began a robust repositioning of the portfolio’s office and retail space, common areas, amenities, and streetscape.

  • The Bourse Building located at 111 South Independence Mall East – The Bourse Building opened in 1895 as America’s first formal commodities exchange and was among the first steel-framed buildings to be constructed in the United States. This historic building consists of 229,307 square feet of office on top of 38,290 square feet of retail amenity space. MRP anticipates restore-renovation of the façade, repositioning the ground floor retail space and common areas, constructing amenity space, and upgrading all building systems, with the goal of creating an amenitized retail-rich office environment attracting a younger tenancy to the sub-market.
