Center City District Hires Gilbane To Consult On Dilworth Plaza Project

PlanPhilly reports that The Center City District his selected Gilbane Building Company to consult and evaluate construction bids for the $50,000,000 Dilworth Plaza renovation.

Gilbane is very well regarded nationally and has managed some very high profile construction projects. In Philadelphia Gilbane managed an airport expansion.

“Construction on the plaza, located on the west side of city hall, is set to begin later this year. “The plaza will be transformed into a high-quality, well-managed civic space, a gateway to transit and a sustainable centerpiece that links together the Pennsylvania Convention Center’s new Broad Street entrance to South Broad’s Avenue of the Arts, tie together East and West Market Streets and provide a solid anchor for the Benjamin Franklin Parkway,” says a CCD press release.”

Also from the release: “Gilbane was founded in 1873 and has more than 138 years of construction experience. In the past 10 years, Gilbane has successfully managed nearly 30 projects in the Philadelphia area, including the Philadelphia International Airport Terminal D/E Expansion and multiple projects at Temple University. The company has annual revenues in excess of $4 billion and more than 2,000 employees.”

Finally Dilworth Plaza will be good for something other than the Christmas Village! This is exciting news for the Philly real estate community and especially for buyers who have recently purchased or are considering purchasing at The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton. The addition of green, outdoor space may give the City Hall area more of a Central Park feel.
