FMC Tower at Cira Centre South

FMC Tower is a 49-story, 861,000-square-foot mixed-use tower consisting of 622,000 square feet of office space, 268 residential units and suites, and 10,000 square feet of retail space.[4]

It is the tallest building in University City and the 7th tallest building in the city of Philadelphia.[5]

The largest tenant, FMC Corporation acquired the naming rights as part of its 16-year lease on 253,000 square feet. The University of Pennsylvania leases about 100,000 square feet at the property. Brandywine Realty Trust, the developer, relocated its headquarters from Radnor to the building, taking 46,000 square feet.[6]

The University of Pennsylvania owns the land and leases the ground to Brandywine.[4] Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects designed the property. The developers broke ground on the project in 2014 and completed the building in late 2017.
