Recognizing PREIT's transformative vision for The Gallery and the value of the location in the heart of Philadelphia, where mass transit, tourism, the residential population and employment base converge, Century 21 has chosen the site as the location for the chain's first venture outside of the New York market.
"With this transaction, our vision to create Philadelphia's only transit-oriented, retail anchored multi-use property offering accessible luxury retailing and artisan food experiences is becoming a reality," said Joseph F. Coradino, CEO of PREIT.
The store features men's, women's and children's apparel, footwear, outerwear, lingerie and accessories, and cosmetics and home goods at select locations. Headquartered in Downtown Manhattan, Century 21 has four other New York locations and three additional locations in Northern New Jersey.
