Every Philadelphia virtual office address and what it costs

Provider pages for Philadelphia quote a market range and stop there; none of them publishes a price against each named building. These are the 18 Philadelphia-area addresses in this catalogue, each with the ZIP code you would put on your filings and the monthly figure from the live listing. Seven of them are inside Philadelphia:

• CIRA Centre, 2929 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104 — University City, above 30th Street Station — $100 a month
• Hale Building, 100 South Juniper Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107 — Center City, a block from City Hall — $100 a month
• International Plaza, 1 International Plaza, Philadelphia, PA 19113 — the airport corridor — $110 a month
• 2001 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103 — Market Street West — $130 a month
• Two Logan Square, 100 North 18th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103 — Logan Square — $130 a month
• One Liberty Place, 1650 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103 — Market Street West — $140 a month
• 325-41 Chestnut Street, Old City, Philadelphia, PA 19106 — $150 a month

The other eleven addresses sit in suburban Pennsylvania, where the median virtual office price is $120 a month against $130 inside Philadelphia — a $10 gap, which is far narrower than the gap in office rent between the two:

• 12 Penns Trail, Newtown, PA 18940 — Bucks County — $100 a month
• Saucon Valley Plaza, 3477 Corporate Parkway, Center Valley, PA 18034 — Lehigh Valley — $100 a month
• 18 Campus Boulevard, Newtown Square, PA 19073 — Delaware County — $110 a month
• Silver Lake Executive Campus, 41 University Drive, Newtown, PA 18940 — $110 a month
• 196 West Ashland Street, Doylestown, PA 18901 — $120 a month
• Eagleview Corporate Center, 600 Eagleview Boulevard, Exton, PA 19341 — Chester County — $120 a month
• Fort Washington Business Park, 500 Office Center Drive, Fort Washington, PA 19034 — $130 a month
• Jenkins Court, 610 Old York Road, Jenkintown, PA 19046 — Montgomery County — $130 a month
• 201 King of Prussia Road, Radnor, PA 19087 — the Main Line — $140 a month
• Four Tower Bridge, 200 Barr Harbor Drive, West Conshohocken, PA 19428 — $140 a month
• Freedom Business Center, 630 Freedom Business Center, King of Prussia, PA 19406 — $150 a month

Where a real office in Philadelphia costs almost the same as the address

At four of the 18 Philadelphia-area centres the cheapest lockable private office is within $30 a month of the virtual office plan in the same building, which is the comparison no provider page makes. At 2001 Market Street the business address is $130 a month and the smallest private office — 43 sq ft on the 4th floor — is $128, so the room costs $2 less than the address. One Liberty Place lists its address at $140 and a 65 sq ft private office at $150. Silver Lake Executive Campus in Newtown charges $110 for the address and $128 for a 43 sq ft room, and Saucon Valley Plaza in Center Valley charges $100 and $128. Anyone paying for a Philadelphia address at those four buildings should ask for the room instead.

At the other fourteen Philadelphia-area buildings the gap is real and worth knowing before you enquire. The cheapest private office runs from 2.6 times the address price at CIRA Centre ($264 a month for 118 sq ft against $100 for the address) to 18.2 times at 12 Penns Trail in Newtown ($1,820 for 700 sq ft against $100). In Center City the step up is 2.6 times at Two Logan Square, where the address is $130 and the smallest room is 129 sq ft at $336 a month.

What a Philadelphia virtual office plan covers

A virtual office plan in the Philadelphia centres on this page buys a street address for invoices, your website, bank paperwork and Pennsylvania filings; receipt of post at that address with forwarding or scanning; an optional Philadelphia phone number with live answering; and pay-as-you-go use of meeting rooms and day offices in the same building. Meeting rooms are quoted separately by each centre rather than bundled into the $100–$150 monthly fee, so ask for the hourly and half-day rate in the same message as your address enquiry.

What the monthly fee does not buy in Philadelphia is a desk you can sit at every day. If your team needs one, the same 18 buildings list 133 private offices, from $128 a month for 43 sq ft up to $71,204 for 27,373 sq ft at 18 Campus Boulevard in Newtown Square, plus 40 coworking suites from $384 a month for 129 sq ft at Silver Lake Executive Campus. The median private office in Philadelphia and its suburbs is $3,575 a month for about 1,378 sq ft, which works out at $31 per sq ft per year — and that median rate is the same on both sides of the city line.

Virtual mailbox or virtual office: what Philadelphia businesses actually need

A virtual mailbox in Philadelphia is the mail half on its own: an address that receives post, scans envelopes and forwards what you ask for. A virtual office adds what a mailbox cannot — staffed reception at the address, meeting rooms in the same building, and the option to move into a private office there without changing a line of your paperwork. All 18 plans in this catalogue are the second kind, from $100 a month, and every one of them sits in a building that also lists private offices and coworking suites.

Two checks separate a usable Philadelphia business address from a mail drop. Ask whether the centre completes USPS Form 1583, the form that authorises a commercial agent to receive mail on your behalf; without it a provider cannot legally handle post addressed to you. Then ask whether staff accept certified and legal mail, which matters for anyone using the address for a Pennsylvania LLC. All 18 addresses listed above are full street addresses in staffed business centres, not box numbers — from 2929 Arch Street in University City to 630 Freedom Business Center in King of Prussia.

Registering a Pennsylvania business at a Philadelphia virtual office address

Business centres in Philadelphia are routinely used as the business address on LLC and corporation filings with the Pennsylvania Department of State and for opening a business bank account, and each of the 18 addresses on this page is a commercial street address in a staffed building. Put two questions in your first message to the centre: confirm that the operator accepts legal and certified mail for you, and confirm that it completes USPS Form 1583. Managers in Philadelphia answer both daily, and the answers decide whether a $100-a-month address is usable for filings or only for post.

Which Philadelphia address to choose

Center City is the default when your clients are law firms, banks or agencies. The Hale Building at 100 South Juniper Street, a block from City Hall, is the cheapest Center City address here at $100 a month; 2001 Market Street on Market Street West is $130, Two Logan Square at 100 North 18th Street is $130 and One Liberty Place at 1650 Market Street is $140. Old City is covered by 325-41 Chestnut Street at $150, the dearest address in the catalogue and the closest to Independence Mall.

University City is a single address in this catalogue: CIRA Centre at 2929 Arch Street, PA 19104, $100 a month, directly above 30th Street Station — the one to use if you work with Penn or Drexel spin-outs or if clients arrive by Amtrak or SEPTA regional rail. International Plaza at 1 International Plaza, PA 19113 costs $110 and sits on the Philadelphia International Airport corridor, which suits a firm whose visitors fly in and rent a car.

Outside the city the eleven suburban Pennsylvania addresses cost $100 to $150 and buy parking and a shorter drive if you collect post yourself. Bucks County is the cheapest entry at $100 for 12 Penns Trail in Newtown, while the Main Line and King of Prussia sit at the top of the suburban range: 201 King of Prussia Road in Radnor at $140 and Freedom Business Center at 630 Freedom Business Center, King of Prussia, PA 19406 at $150, which is also the base for 8 private offices from $700 a month.

Virtual office in Philadelphia: questions people ask

How much does a virtual office in Philadelphia cost?

A virtual office address in Philadelphia costs $100 to $150 a month across the 18 business centres in this catalogue, with a median of $125. Four addresses are priced at exactly $100 — CIRA Centre, the Hale Building, 12 Penns Trail and Saucon Valley Plaza — and only 325-41 Chestnut Street in Old City and Freedom Business Center in King of Prussia charge $150.

Are there free virtual offices in Philadelphia?

No free plan exists among the 18 Philadelphia-area addresses on this page: the floor is $100 a month. What does exist is a cheap entry point in the two locations that matter most — $100 for a Center City address at the Hale Building on South Juniper Street and $100 for a University City address at CIRA Centre by 30th Street Station.

Can I use a Philadelphia virtual office address for an LLC?

Pennsylvania LLCs and corporations are routinely registered at Philadelphia business-centre addresses, and every address in this catalogue is a commercial street address rather than a box number. Before you file, confirm with the centre that it completes USPS Form 1583 and accepts certified and legal mail on your behalf; those two answers, not the $100–$150 price, decide whether the address works for filings.

What is the cheapest virtual office address in Center City Philadelphia?

The Hale Building at 100 South Juniper Street, PA 19107 is the cheapest Center City virtual office in this catalogue at $100 a month, a block from City Hall. The next Center City addresses are 2001 Market Street and Two Logan Square at $130, One Liberty Place at $140 and 325-41 Chestnut Street in Old City at $150.

Do Philadelphia virtual office plans include meeting rooms?

Meeting rooms in the Philadelphia centres are booked on demand and quoted separately from the $100–$150 monthly address fee, so the room rate is not part of the plan price. Because every one of the 18 buildings also lists private offices and coworking suites, you can book a room at the same address that appears on your paperwork rather than meeting clients somewhere else.

What is the difference between a virtual office and a virtual mailbox in Philadelphia?

A virtual mailbox in Philadelphia handles post only — receipt, scanning and forwarding. A virtual office at the same price point, $100 to $150 a month here, adds staffed reception, on-demand meeting rooms and a route into a private office in the same building, so the address on your invoices does not change when your team grows.

Can I move from a virtual office to a real office in the same Philadelphia building?

Yes, and in four of the 18 buildings it costs almost nothing to do so: at 2001 Market Street a 43 sq ft private office is $128 a month against $130 for the address, at One Liberty Place a 65 sq ft office is $150 against $140, and at Silver Lake Executive Campus and Saucon Valley Plaza a 43 sq ft room is $128 against $110 and $100. Because the street address is unchanged, filings, invoices and bank records stay as they are.

Which suburban Philadelphia address is cheapest?

12 Penns Trail in Newtown, Bucks County, PA 18940 and Saucon Valley Plaza at 3477 Corporate Parkway, Center Valley, PA 18034 are the cheapest suburban addresses at $100 a month, followed by 18 Campus Boulevard in Newtown Square and Silver Lake Executive Campus in Newtown at $110. The suburban median is $120 a month across the 11 non-city addresses.
