Cira Centre is a 29-story office tower in Philadelphia, designed by César Pelli with BLT Architects, which coordinated the team and designed the core and neighboring garage. Brandywine Realty Trust developed and owns it, and Amtrak owns the land and 30th Street Station. Turner Construction won a $116 million contract in February 2004, the tower topped off on November 16, 2004 and it opened October 31, 2005. The article names no style.

The roof is 437 feet (133 m) high, and the floor area is 731,852 square feet (68,000 m2). A silver glass curtain wall has two corners removed, so its shape changes with the viewing angle. LED fixtures behind the glass show team logos and winter patterns.

A pedestrian bridge over Arch Street connects the lobby to the station. The cost was $180 million. The article gives no hours.
