Project Overview:
The Honickman Center completes the East Market redevelopment, a 4.3-acre urban redevelopment project in heart of Center City Philadelphia, extending pedestrian-friendly streetscapes and mixed-use activity from Market Street south to Chestnut Street. With its pleated glass facade, it redefines Jefferson Health's identity, anchoring its Center City campus while enhancing the skyline.
Inside, it transforms care with a seamless, patient-focused experience—integrating evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment with centralized access to care and supportive amenities. The design exemplifies how large healthcare facilities can thoughtfully integrate into urban environments, fostering community engagement and providing clear, and navigable access to care.
