Grove at Cira Centre South

Construction has begun on The Grove at Cira Centre South, a housing project targeted toward graduate and professional students, located at 30th and Chestnut Streets on a site leased from the University. The building, a joint project of Brandywine Realty Trust, Campus Crest, and Harrison Street Real Estate Capital, will offer an 850-bed, upscale housing option opening in fall 2014. The tower, designed by architect Erdy McHenry in consultation with Cira master plan architect Cesar Pelli, is expected to achieve LEED Gold certification.
