Prices are the consideration recorded in Philadelphia's public property records. Where a qualification code exists it is the assessor's judgement of whether a transfer was arm's length; transfers without one appear unrated rather than assumed clean. Whether a building is on the market today, and at what price, is not a public record and is not shown here — asking prices, listings and lease terms live in private commercial databases.

Data provenance — public records only
- Philadelphia — Office of Property Assessment nightly roll (owner and mailing address on every parcel), Department of Records deed transfers with consideration and counterparties, and L&I business licences joined by OPA account. The universal Commercial Activity licence roll publishes no premises addresses, so occupancy shows regulated activities only.
Every fact on this page is drawn from the government records above — no listing sites, no scraped platforms, no third-party images. Facts from public records are uncopyrightable; each tenancy row carries its source and match confidence. Records can lag reality — a business-tax receipt or registration at an address is evidence of occupancy, not a lease confirmation.
