About Two Logan Square
This building is a well-known part of the downtown Philadelphia skyline. It stands tall with 35 floors, reaching a height of 435 feet (about 133 meters). It's a place where many different companies have their offices.
How It Was Built
The design for Two Logan Square came from a famous architecture company called Kohn Pederson Fox. Construction started in 1984, and the building was finished in 1987. That same year, another very tall building, One Liberty Place, was also completed in Philadelphia. For 20 years, One Liberty Place was the tallest building in the city!
Why "Logan Square"?
The building's name, Two Logan Square, comes from the neighborhood it's in. This area is named after Logan Circle, which is a big, round park nearby. Logan Circle is one of the five original squares that William Penn, who founded Pennsylvania, planned for Philadelphia a long, long time ago.

Two Logan Square isn't alone! It has two "companion" buildings that are also named after Logan Square.
- One Logan Square is right across Cherry Street.
- Three Logan Square is across 18th Street.
These three buildings together form an important part of the Logan Square area.
