LERA is the structural engineer for Phase I of Schuylkill Yards, a new large-scale, multi-building mixed-use development located directly adjacent to 30th Street Station in Philadelphia, PA. The 14-acre development will create 6.9 million sf of office, laboratory, residential, retail, hotel and public green space. The Sky West (gray) tower includes a 20-story residential building (featuring amenities such as a pool, a gym and more) over an 8-story mixed program of lab/office and retail, which sits over two levels of parking. The Sky East (red) tower includes a 30-story office building over retail.

​

The West Tower is designed by the Practice for Architecture and Urbanism, HDR and a team of engineering firms. Health and wellness, technology acceleration and integrated work and life experiences were incorporated into the overall design, according to Brandywine. 

​

Gotham Organization, a New York City-based developer, is assisting with the residential components. This project will be Gotham’s first Philadelphia-based project.
