​ About The Bourse Marketplace opening, mid-summer 2018 – The Historic District’s circa 1895 commodities exchange will transform into an artisan market in the style of Chelsea Market. The burnished, Victorian-era member of National Register of Historic Places across the street from Independence Mall was most recently a food court and retail center. The Bourse’s new incarnation promises a new experience befitting Philadelphia’s current and centuries-old reputation as a gleaming city of makers. Located at 111 S. Independence Mall E.

2) Are tenant's shrinking footprints a problem for owners, or a solution to attract smaller tenants?

3) Have open office plans helped or hurt productivity? And are they still in high demand?

4) Should owners and investors hold out for large tenants?

5) Will owners continue to buy and sell in the city?

6) How do we attract new investors and tenants into the city?
