Construction of 2300 Market by Breakthrough in Pennsylvania commences

Construction has commenced on a  life science research building dubbed 2300 Market by Breakthrough at Philadelphia’s Center City District, Pennsylvania. The developer, Breakthrough Properties, secured a $130 million construction loan to build the 223,000-square-foot research facility at S. 23rd Street.

However, it was the Philadelphia-based D2 Capital Advisors who helped the developers to secure the construction loan from  Corebridge Financial. Additionally, the 2300 Market by Breakthrough development is also receiving support from a joint venture of Tishman Speyer and Bellco Capital.
