Once a Slaughterhouse

The Cira Centre, “a 29-story, 437-foot (133 m) office high-rise,” located on a site that may have been part of the northwest corner of the Philadelphia Stockyards. A “silver glass curtain wall skyscraper” built in 2004–5 on a platform over rail tracks, the Cira Centre, which has space for retail and restaurant leases and a parking garage, is joined with 30th Street Station by a pedestrian bridge.
