Cira Centre South, a planned multi-parcel, mixed-use development of soaring glass, lies along the Schuylkill River’s western shore and at the very heart of a remarkable renaissance. When finished, Cira Centre South will add a new dimension to a neighborhood rich in an academic, health care, cultural, scientific, and entrepreneurial tradition. Its unique profile, inspired by Cira Centre, will stand as the visual gateway to West Philadelphia. In addition to its unparalleled location, Cira Centre South offers all of the tax and economic benefits of its Keystone Opportunity Zone Program designation.  The location of the buildings is between Walnut Street and Chestnut Street south of 30th Street Station. The structure will consist of two towers, Cira 2 and Cira Centre South. In this project, Cira 2 will likely soar over 600 feet though the official height of both buildings is yet to be announced. Cira Centre South is now under construction.

Temple District

The Church has indicated that the Philadelphia Pennsylvania Temple will serve members from eight stakes in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. These stakes are presumably the Cherry Hill New Jersey Stake, Harrisburg Pennsylvania Stake, Philadelphia Pennsylvania Stake, Reading Pennsylvania Stake, Scranton Pennsylvania Stake, Valley Forge Pennsylvania Stake, Williamsport Pennsylvania Stake, and Wilmington Delaware Stake. Since this announcement, two new stakes have been created in the area; namely, the Dover Delaware Stake and the Lancaster Pennsylvania Stake.
