Philadelphia Bourse

Texte de Wikipédia en anglais, en attente de traduction.

The Philadelphia Bourse was a commodities exchange founded in 1891 by George E. Bartol, a grain and commodities exporter, who modeled it after the Bourse in Hamburg, Germany. The steel-framed building—one of the first to be constructed—was built from 1893 to 1895 and was designed by G. W. & W. D. Hewitt in the Beaux‑Arts style. Carlisle redstone, Pompeian buff brick and terra cotta were all used in the facade. The building was sold in 1979 to Kaiserman Company and underwent extensive renovations, bringing the internal usable surface to approximately 286,000 square feet (26,000 m²). In 2016, MRP Realty took ownership and invested US$40 million in renovations. In mid‑2024, MRP Realty sold the Bourse to a joint venture of Keystone Property Group and Lubert‑Adler Real Estate Funds, which plans a mixed‑use redevelopment of the landmark. The building now houses office space anchored by Digitas, a subsidiary of Publicis Groupe.
