“Cohen Seglias announced they have signed a lease to move into the near-completed FNB Financial Center, with plans to occupy the new space Oct. 1.
Cohen Seglias, currently a tenant of 525 William Penn Pl., is the third company to announce leases at the Lower Hill District tower, along with anchor tenant FNB and GH Advertising. Cohen Seglias has leased 7,200 square feet of space on the 19th floor.
GH Advertising announced it had signed a 10-year lease in February. New buildings with the latest amenities and redevelopments that have created unique spaces attractive to workers returning from remote work have become a lure to companies as space needs change in the post-pandemic environment.
Construction of the 26-story FNB Financial Center began in September 2021 and was topped with FNB’s signage in October 2023. It has been among the largest construction projects in the region during this time, costing about $230 million, and being the centerpiece of the overall redevelopment of the former Civic Arena site in the Lower Hill. It is expected to open this summer. According to the building’s leasing website, floorplates in the building are 20,530 square feet with 13,315 rentable square feet listed available on the 19th floor.”
