Office furniture liquidation in University City
Corporate move-outs, consolidations and lease exits in University City, planned around the district's buildings and logistics, starting with a free walkthrough.
Clearing an office in University City
University City lies just west of the Schuylkill River around 30th Street Station, the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University, with offices along Market Street, JFK Boulevard and Chestnut Street. Life sciences firms, healthcare systems, universities, law firms and technology companies are the core tenants.
The stock includes Class A towers such as the Cira Centre and FMC Tower, newer buildings at uCity Square and Schuylkill Yards, and older institutional and converted buildings. Newer towers have proper docks and large freight elevators, but many buildings mix offices with labs, so lab benches and equipment often need a separate removal path.
District snapshot: University City had the highest Class A asking rents in Greater Philadelphia in Q2 2026, averaging $52.69 per square foot, according to CBRE. Source

Planning a University City move-out
What experienced facilities teams account for in this district before the first desk comes apart.
- Separate lab furniture and equipment from standard office furniture early, since labs often need decommissioning before anything leaves.
- Plan around Penn and Drexel move-in weeks in late August and Penn Relays weekend in April, when streets near campus fill up.
- Route trucks around 30th Street Station traffic and Schuylkill Expressway backups at the Market Street and JFK Boulevard ramps.
- Book dock time early in mixed-use towers, where lab deliveries and office moves share the same loading area.
- Send all covered electronics to an electronics recycler, since Pennsylvania landfills may not accept computers or monitors.
