University City — anchored by the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia — has become a nationally recognized innovation district with billions in institutional development. The Navy Yard redevelopment in South Philadelphia has attracted corporate tenants including GlaxoSmithKline and Urban Outfitters to a 1,200-acre mixed-use campus. The I-76/King of Prussia corridor remains the region's densest suburban office submarket, while Center City's residential conversion trend has absorbed older Class B office stock.
