PHILADELPHIA — Breakthrough Properties, which is a joint venture between New York City-based Tishman Speyer and biotechnology investment firm Bellco Capital, has received a $130 million construction loan for a life sciences project in Philadelphia. The site at 2300 Market St. in the Center City District is adjacent to both the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University and will house an eight-story, 223,000-square-foot building. Amenities will include a café and lounge, fitness center and elevated terraces. D2 Capital Advisors arranged the loan through Corebridge Financial on behalf of Breakthrough Properties. Construction of the building shell is expected to be complete by next summer, at which point tenant build-outs will commence.
