Mellon Bank Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mellon Bank Center is a 54 story high-rise located in Philadelphia. Height to structural top is 792 ft (241 m) with construction being completed in 1990.
The building was designed by the architecture firm of Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, and is owned by HRPT Properties Trust.
The building stands on the former site of the city's Greyhound Bus Terminal. The address of the building is 1735 Market Street (between Market Street and John F. Kennedy Boulevard, just east of 18th Street).
Mellon Bank Center is part of a complex of office buildings known as Penn Center and as such, the building is alternately known as Nine Penn Center. A shopping concourse exists beneath the building which connects to an adjacent winter garden and Penn Center Suburban Station. Mellon Bank Center is the 109th (or 108th) tallest building in the world, depending on whether one counts Minneapolis' IDS Center as being 775 feet (238 meters) or 792 feet (243 meters) tall.
Tenants include the headquarters of Sunoco, Citizens Bank, Aon, FMC Corporation, an office of Goldman Sachs, and the law firms Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll, LLP and Dilworth Paxson LLP.
