City Center Lehigh Valley to Develop 12-Story Tower 6 in Downtown Allentown

Today City Center Lehigh Valley announced plans to develop a 12-story Class A office building at Sixth and Hamilton streets and offer businesses of any size the opportunity to own space in it. The 145,000-square-foot building, which has been named Tower 6, is projected to open in early 2018.

“Businesses that choose to own in Tower 6 will enjoy many benefits, from the prestige of having their own space in a brand-new building to the business development opportunities in downtown Allentown, where a highly collaborative business culture has emerged,” said J.B. Reilly, cofounder and president of City Center. “Tower 6 offers a stylish professional environment for growing your business and attracting and retaining the next generation of talent.”

Constructed of steel and glass, Tower 6 will stand 180 feet tall, offering active street views from floors two through five and 360-degree views from floors six through 12. With upscale retail on the first floor of the building, the remaining 11 floors will each house between one and three businesses. A stylish lobby is planned for the building’s Hamilton Street side, and the building’s occupants and visitors will park in the new Community Deck on Sixth and Walnut streets. Like City Center’s three existing Class A office buildings, Tower 6 will offer cutting-edge, efficient environmental control systems, customized access-control systems and a professional property management team.

“Tower 6 will be the premier workplace in the region, a building where glass, steel and light together become art,” said Dan Harrigan of Spillman Farmer Architects, which is designing the building. Serfass Development Partners will serve as planning and construction manager for the project.
