Office furniture liquidation in Center City
Corporate move-outs, consolidations and lease exits in Center City, planned around the district's buildings and logistics, starting with a free walkthrough.
Clearing an office in Center City
Center City's office core stretches from the Schuylkill River east to Independence Hall, with the Market West towers between Broad Street and 20th Street around Market Street, JFK Boulevard and Arch Street, and older buildings in Market East and Old City. Law firms, insurers, banks, accounting firms, healthcare systems and government agencies are the main tenants.
Market West holds most of the high-rise stock, from 1980s and 1990s towers such as One and Two Liberty Place and Centre Square to newer towers near 18th and Arch, while Market East and Old City have older mid-rise buildings. Towers usually run moves through a single loading dock off a side street, with freight elevator reservations, insurance certificates and evening or weekend windows.

Planning a Center City move-out
What experienced facilities teams account for in this district before the first desk comes apart.
- Reserve the loading dock and freight elevator with building management early, since many Market West towers share one dock among dozens of tenants.
- Confirm with building management whether union labor is required, which is common in larger Center City towers.
- Check with the city about a street-occupancy permit when a truck must stand on Market Street, Chestnut Street or a narrow side street.
- Avoid Benjamin Franklin Parkway event days and rush hour on the Vine Street Expressway (I-676) and the Schuylkill Expressway when timing trucks.
- Recycle computers, monitors and printers through an electronics recycler, because Pennsylvania's Covered Device Recycling Act bars them from regular trash and landfills.
