The Cira Centre: It's Still a Tax Deal That Keeps on Taking | Inquirer | 03/30
The Economy | The Cira Centre: It's still a tax deal that keeps on taking | Inquirer | 03/30/... Page 1 of 3 The Economy | The Cira Centre: It's still a tax deal that keeps on taking By Andrew Cassel Inquirer Columnist MICHAEL BRYANT / Inquirer Staff Photographer The Cira Centre towers over trees and buildings east of the Schuylkill. Not everyone likes the tax deal that made it possible. The economists whom Brandywine Realty Trust hired say I was wrong about Cira Centre. They say the 29-story skyscraper, which now sits handsomely above the railroad tracks next to 30th Street Station, wasn't a giant tax boondoggle after all. In a study they prepared for the developer, economists from the consulting firm Econsult say Cira has actually been a good thing for Philadelphia's economy, bringing jobs to the city and adding to the tax base. That's as opposed to what some people, me included, said back when Cira was going up two years ago. At that time, I noted that the Cira project was made possible by a special tax deal in which tenants of the new office tower wouldn't have to pay city or state levies until 2018. http://www.printthis.clickability.com/pt/cpt?action=cpt&title=The+Economy+%7C+The+C... 4/2/2007 The Economy | The Cira Centre: It's still a tax deal that keeps on taking | Inquirer | 03/30/...
