Central Location

Right in the heart of the busy Northeast corridor is where you’ll find Philadelphia. Midway between New York City and Washington, D.C., Philadelphia is a major link in the I-95 corridor and is served by a busy Amtrak hub and a major international airport. 

And right in the heart of this bustling Philadelphia region is where you’ll find The Navy Yard:

• Located just three miles from Center City (Philadelphia’s dynamic central business district), The Navy Yard offers convenient and immediate access to the cultural, educational and business center of Greater Philadelphia. It also neighbors major office tenants, internationally-renown medical institutions, cultural attractions, and restaurants and nightlife.
• Positioned just minutes from both the Walt Whitman and Ben Franklin Bridges, The Navy Yard is conveniently accessible for the region’s diverse workforce.  The surrounding counties in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware make for a deep talent pool with a vast range of skills.  Boasting over 92 colleges and universities in the region, tenants at The Navy Yard can be assured of a steady supply of future employees, all within a few miles of the front gate. 
• Strategically located along Interstate 95, with close connections to Interstates 76 and 476, The Navy Yard offers easy access to entire region, including Philadelphia International Airport and Amtrak’s 30th Street Station. This makes it an ideal location for regional, national and international headquarters.

The Navy Yard is well served by public transportation, with routes directly serving the property, making frequent connections to subway and bus lines immediately outside of The Navy Yard. Free on-site parking is also available.

About Philadelphia

Philadelphia is well-known as America’s birthplace and the home of some of our country’s most historic shrines. But in addition to this historic and cultural legacy, Philadelphia is also a dynamic present-day center of science and commerce—and a great place to do business.

Strategically located between the nation’s financial capital (New York City) and the political capital (Washington D.C.), Greater Philadelphia is the second largest market on the East Coast when measured by employment, population and income, and Philadelphia’s Center City core is home to the third largest downtown population in the United States. The area has a deep pool of talent–92 colleges and universities that annually award over 21,000 advanced degrees—and one of the largest life sciences clusters in the country, creating a synergy that places the area at the cutting edge of research and innovation.

Philadelphia is home to a wide variety of cultural and entertainment offerings.  World-renowned institutions such as the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the University of Pennsylvania Museum set the pace for a rich cultural experience. There are eight professional sports teams in Philadelphia, most of them housed in the sports complex just a few blocks from The Navy Yard’s front gate. All of the city’s arts, sports and cultural attractions can be easily accessed from The Navy Yard by car or SEPTA, the region’s public transportation provider.

Home to many Fortune 500 companies, 92 colleges and universities, a high quality of life and a lower cost of living than many other major U.S. metropolitan areas, Philadelphia is a great place to live and do business.
