WORKSPACE PROPERTY TRUST PULLS IPO
THE COMPANY HAS MOVED ON TO WHAT IT IS CALLING ‘PLAN B’ FOR NOW
W
orkspace Property Trust has
withdrawn its plans for an ini-
tial public offering.
The Horsham real estate company sent
a letter to the Securities and Exchange
Commission on Feb. 5 informing it of its
decision. The company filed last Octo-
ber to have its shares listed on the New
York Stock Exchange and sought to raise
as much as $672 million through the IPO.
Workspace twice postponed the offer-
ing in November. At the end of last year,
the company amended its filings as it pre-
pared to make another attempt at an IPO.
However, gyrations in the stock market
dashed its hopes to go public. The vola-
tility of the market and, particularly in
the REIT market, made it clear that now
wasn’t the time to move forward with an
IPO, said Roger Thomas, co-founder and
president of the company, in an interview.
“We didn’t want to price into a volatile
market,” Thomas said. “One of the worst
things that could happen to us is if our
stock price traded down and that’s noth-
ing endemic to us.”
The company is now pursuing “Plan
B,” Thomas said. That involves looking at
options on a short- and long-term basis,
which could include a recapitalization
or bringing in new equity investors. The
company also plans to grow its portfolio.
Workspace owns 148 office and flex
BUCKS BOUND?
CROWN HOLDINGS TO RELOCATE HEADQUARTERS OUT OF NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA
Crown Holdings Inc. is in negotiations to
relocate its headquarters to Bucks County
from Philadelphia, sources say.
The company, which has been based
in Philadelphia for 60 years, has zeroed
in on nearly 60,000 square feet at 770
Township Line Road in Lower Makefield,
according to several real estate sources.
The new offices are about 15 miles from
Crown’s existing Philadelphia location.
The company had been looking for
a new headquarters for some time as it
evaluated its real estate options. As part
of that, Crown sold its 238,000-square-
foot headquarters building at One Crown
Way off Roosevelt Boulevard in Northeast
Philadelphia last May for $9 million. The
sale along with the realization that Crown
needed a fraction of that space to house
its corporate operations prompted its
search.
Crown leased back a portion of One

properties totaling 9.9 million square
feet in Philadelphia’s western and
ls
northern suburbs, Florida as well as in
-
Minneapolis and Phoenix. The compa-
ny cultivated its portfolio in two large
transactions with Liberty Property
Trust.
Workspace’s presence is significant. It
owns 70 properties totaling 4.4 million
square feet between Horsham and Mal-
vern. The portfolio has stabilized since
Crown Way to give it a landing spot while
it looked for new space. The company
reportedly cast a wide net in its search,
looking out of state as well as options in
the Philadelphia suburbs. While it wasn’t
guaranteed, it was almost certain the
company would move out of Philadelphia.
The Township Line Road building
totals 70,000 square feet and Crown
will be its anchor. The building is owned
by AIG Insurance. Officials from Crown
couldn’t be immediately reached for
comment.
Crown is one of Philadelphia’s largest
publicly traded companies and is one of
the world’s largest packaging companies.
It manufactures aerosol and beverage
cans. Bill Avery was CEO of Crown when
it developed One Crown Way in 1996
and at the time had expected to fill the
building with 500 employees but that
never materialized.

On a grander scale, Comcast’s Sym-
ur
phony was center stage during the 2016
na
Summer Olympic games in Rio, as the
company used its next-generation X1
platform to make NBC’s coverage more
accessible. It pulled everything togeth-
er on one Olympics home page, pack-
aged content to make watching your
favorite sport or athlete easier and put its
voice-controlled remote to work helping
manage them all and call up stats with-
out interrupting programming. And it
worked — data showed that Olympics rat-
ings among Comcast customers with the
X1 box was 27 percent higher than cus-
tomers without X1.
It’s a strategy that executives have
hailed as a key to Comcast’s success fol-
lowing the NBCUniversal merger, and

Comcast designed its X1 platform to showcase the best of NBC’s Olympics
coverage, a key part of the company’s “Symphony” strategy.
“The Olympics provides a unique
opportunity for Comcast NBCUniversal
to showcase its combined innovation and
technology, and provide new and immer-
ls
sive experiences to millions of viewers
-
across every screen,” Matt Strauss, execu-
No
tive vice president of Xfinity Services, said
in a comment to the Business Journal.
tf
“In addition, NBCUniversal is tapping
or
into the broader portfolio to market and
promote the Olympics; from an Olympic
c
Village at Universal Studios Orlando and
om
customized content across all NBCUni-
versal networks, to an Olympic-themed
m
episode of Bravo’s hit show Top Chef and
er
in-show integrations for NBC’s The Voice,
cia
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fal-
lon, and TODAY.”
lu
Comcast isn’t reinventing or shaking
up its model much for the Olympics, and
se
that’s deliberate. Jason Angelides, execu-
federal departments, testified to the
Senate Judiciary Committee during his
confirmation hearings in 1991 that he
had sexual harassed her.
Hill is a professor at Brandeis
University where she teaches social
policy, law and women’s gender and
sexuality studies.
“Prof. Hill is one of our nation’s most
powerful voices in addressing equality
and discrimination, and has reemerged
as a central figure in the current
national discussion regarding sexual
harassment,” Rutgers University-Camden
COMCAST
tive director of technology and product at
Comcast’s cable division, said it focuses
on building a solid foundation of products
and continually adding and enhancing.
To bulk up the platform for the Olym-
pics, Comcast added about 30 features,
including the creation of all-new “vir-
tual” channels delivered through the X1
Olympic home page, which are essential-
ly focused playlists of Olympic moments
curated by editors on the Comcast cable
side using the NBC content and insight.
“That’s a key piece of our value. We
invest very heavily in content, and that’s
not only NBC, so we want to make sure
we support that with the right technology.
“I think that is one of the key messages,
we’re tying together all of the great capa-
bilities and storytelling of NBC with what
we can do in X1 and Comcast in general,”
Angelides said.
Chancellor Phoebe Haddon said in
a statement. “Her career is a living
testament to her commitment to the
idea of equity in access in myriad ways,
particularly regarding the importance
of equal rights for women. She is the
ideal role model to charge graduating
students to take what they learned at
Rutgers–Camden and work to improve
their communities and world.”
The commencement ceremony for
Rutgers Law will take place at the BB&T
Pavilion in Camden at 9:30 a.m. on May

CANCER SUMMIT
SET FOR FEB. 22
The role the Philadelphia region is
playing in the war against cancer
will be explored in detail at the
Philadelphia Business Journal’s
Cancer Summit on Feb. 22 in
Center City.
A stellar lineup of academic
researchers, pharmaceutical
company executives and hospital
leaders will talk about what is
happening in their labs and at
patients’ bedsides.
Philadelphia’s impact in the field
of oncology received international
attention last year when the Food
and Drug Administration approved
the first gene therapy cancer
treatment. It was developed on
the campus of the University
of Pennsylvania, and is being
commercialized by Novartis under
the brand name Kymriah.
Dr. Robert H. Vonderheide,
the director of the University of
Pennsylvania’s Abramson Cancer
Center, will deliver the keynote
address: “Conquering the Cancer
Ecosystem.” Panel members for
the event will include Drs. Richard
Fisher, president and CEO of Fox
Chase Cancer Center; Dario Altieri,
president and CEO of the Wistar
Institute, and Karen Knudsen,
director of the Sidney Kimmel
Cancer Center at Jefferson. Also
on hand will be representatives
from established pharmaceutical
companies GlaxoSmithKline
and Incycte and younger drug
developers Inovio Pharmaceuticals
and Tmunity Therapeutics.

MARC PISCOTTY
A FEW MINUTES WITH ...
JOANN WRENN,
GM OF THE LOGAN
The Philadelphia Eagles’ NFL
Playoff season gave Center
City hotels an estimated $3.3
million in incremental hotel room
revenue. I spoke with JoAnn
Wrenn, general manager of The
Logan on the Benjamin Franklin
Parkway, about why big events
like the Eagles parade matter.
Read the full interview at pbj.com.
Why do events like the parade
matter for hotels? At The Logan,
it gives us the opportunity to
really showcase our brand as
Philadelphia’s hotel and, for the
city as a whole, to demonstrate
to everyone watching that
Philadelphia is a great a
destination.
We are a drive market city, so
when events like the parade go
well, the best of Philadelphia
is showcased. People want to
come back because the city
handled it so well.
How can hotels showcase
their capabilities during major
events? To be successful during
events such as the DNC, papal
visit, NFL Draft and now a Super
Bowl parade, it’s about planning,
teamwork and level of service.
From the day after the Super
Bowl, and even the days
prior, we met daily as a team,
knowing an event like this
would challenge us once
again to show up and perform
at our best. When these big,
exciting events land on your
front door, you need to take
a step back and plan every
detail strategically. Based
on feedback, our guests felt
safe, secure, welcome and
celebrated.
It doesn’t get any better than
that. It was an all-hands-on-
deck effort; every manager
was working in a guest-facing
capacity during the parade, and
they did an awesome job. I am
really proud of our team.

SMALLER FIRMS MAKE GAINS
BIG 4 ACCOUNTING FIRMS SEE CPA NUMBERS DECLINING
R
eversing a period of signifi-
cant growth, the number of
CPAs at the Big 4 accounting
Am
firms in Philadelphia declined by
almost 3 percent while midsize firms
on the list saw an increase of almost
8 percent, according to the Philadel-
phia Business Journal’s annual list of
the largest CPA firms published on
Page 14.
Those figures represent a stark
change from last year, when the Big
4 increased CPA headcount in this
region by 10 percent from 2016 and
by 43 percent over the five previ-
ous years (the latter figure does not
include Deloitte, which did not pro-
vide that figure in 2013).
Since 2017, both PwC (745 to 704)
and Ernst & Young (340 to 311) saw
significant declines in CPA head-
count. Overall employment at the
Big 4 was relatively flat (down by less
than 1 percent).
When the Big 4 is expanded to
the 10 largest firms, the number of
CPAs remained almost identical to
last year’s figures. The top 25 list
includes 23 firms that were includ-
ed both years. Of those firms, the
number of CPAs increased by just
1.6 percent.
Christopher Bruner, office man-
aging partner for Ernst & Young,
said one reason why the Big 4 might
have experienced a decline in CPA
headcount was the re-emergence of
consulting practices at PwC, KPMG
and Ernst & Young — something
those firms abandoned after Con-
gress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley law
in the wake of the Arthur Anders-
en/Enron-era accounting scandals.
The law frowned upon accounting
firms from doing consulting work
for audit clients in most instances.
Of the Big 4, only Deloitte main-
tained its consulting group. In recent
years, the other three firms chose to
amp up consulting. But those posi-
tions do not require a CPA.
“If you also look at what’s been
happening in the city, it has lost a
number of public companies to
relocation outside the area or being
downsized,” Bruner said. “In the
past, the Big 4 firms would share in
the wins and losses. Usually if a cli-

ent left, it would go to another Big
4. But now some of those clients are
considering firms in the second tier.”
Bruner said some clients — even
publicly traded companies — have
decided to move audit and account-
ing work to smaller firms because
Big 4 billing rates were out of their
price range.
“Some smaller firms have been
aggressive with that,” Bruner said.
“And if you don’t have complex,
international operations, you are
probably better served at a firm with
a lower overhead.”
Chuck Shectman, Philadelphia
managing partner for New York-
based Friedman, said he noticed that
the Big 4 were doing less compliance
work and more consulting in recent
years.
In some instances, Big 4 firms
decide the client no longer fits its
economic model. Bruner said he
recently introduced a longtime cli-
ent to Baker Tilly, who took on the
work that EY had done for years.
Bruner also noted Big 4 firms
tend to have high turnover, partic-
ularly younger staff members who
have not yet become CPAs. The CPA

Drinker Biddle narrows gender gap
SENIOR MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE NOW HALF FEMALE
BY JEFF BLUMENTHAL

H
alf of the governing board
at Drinker Biddle & Reath is
now comprised of women,
double the average in an industry still
struggling with under-representation
Am
of women and minorities in senior
positions.
At the beginning of the law firm’s
er
fiscal year on Feb. 1, it elected seven
new members to its managing part-
ners committee (similar to an execu-
tive committee or board of directors),
four of which were women. Two of the
five incumbent managing partners are
women.
The newly elected managing part-
ners are Bonnie A. Barnett, Mary
Devlin Capizzi, Edward A. Gramigna,
Sandra D. Grannum, Lisa S. Presser, F.
Douglas Raymond and John G. Smith.
They join managing partners Daniel
J. Collins, John J. D’Andrea, Joshua B.
Deringer, Cheryl D. Orr and Kimber-
ly K. Rubel. Drinker Biddle Chairman
and CEO Andrew C. Kassner is not
technically a member but does get a
vote in all decisions.
Heller re-elected CEO of Cozen O’Connor
BY JEFF BLUMENTHAL
jblumenthal@bizjournals.com
M
ichael Heller has been
re-elected to a third con-
secutive three-year term at
Cozen O’Connor and has taken on the
additional title of executive chairman.
Firm founder Stephen Cozen
retains the role of chairman. But Hell-
er’s ascension to executive chairman
indicates he will be in line to succeed
his uncle as chairman.
Cozen O’Connor also said Manag-
ing Partner Vincent R. McGuinness
will continue in his current role and
also now serving as president. Elaine
Rinaldi Bailey, chair of strategic plan-
ning and growth will make the tran-
sition to one of the vice chairs of the
firm. Martin T. Schrier, a member
in the firm’s Miami office, will now
serve as chief strategy partner.

FOUR MORE YEARS
Heller, 53, will begin his third term
Jan. 1, 2019. The board chose to re-elect
Heller one year early. His current term
will not expire until the end of 2018.
Since Heller became CEO in Janu-
ary 2013, Cozen O’Connor has grown
from about 500 lawyers to 725 and
added new offices in Chicago, Pitts-
burgh, Minneapolis, South Florida
and Santa Monica, Calif. Heller also
supervised the firm’s 2015 move from
its longtime home at 1900 Market St.
into One Liberty Place.
“We have been entrepreneurial and
not afraid to invest in the firm but have
done so in a fiscally conservative man-
ner,” Heller said in an interview.
Most recently, Cozen O’Con-
nor acquired Los Angeles real estate
and commercial litigation boutique
Gilchrist & Rutter last October.
Earlier last year, Cozen acquired
30 lawyers, largely in the labor and
Kassner said the 600-lawyer firm,
which was started in Philadelphia
in 1849, does not have a nominating
committee. Any partner can run for
a seat on the board. He said the firm’s
37-member women’s leadership com-
mittee identifies women interested in
running for a seat and then spreads
the word about their candidacy in
advance of the partner vote.
The percentage of women now
serving on Drinker Biddle’s commit-
tee far exceeds the industry average
of 25 percent reported by the 2017
National Association of Women Law-
yers survey on promotion and reten-
tion of women in law firms and McK-
insey’s 2017 Women in Law Firms
report.
Kassner said that is partly indica-
tive of the women’s leadership com-
mittee and firm leading in general
working to enhance the talent pool of
eligible women lawyers.
“We have focused a lot on mento-
ring and developing talent,” Kassner
said. “And we have a good number of

tigation and ensuing report for Baylor

In 2016, Cozen acquired the bulk

erty boutique Feldman Gale. And in
2015, it added 60 lawyers from Chi-
cago-based Meckler Bulger Tilson,
which also gave it a San Francisco

Cheryl Orr in San Francisco, who is a
managing partner, is chair of our labor
and employment practice. Laura Phil-
lips in Washington chairs our govern-
ment and regulatory affairs practice.
Bonnie Barnett in Philadelphia was
chair of our environmental and ener-
gy practice for years.”
The pipeline should continue as 13
of the 30 newly elected partners over
the past four years were women.
For more than two decades, wom-
en have comprised over 50 percent of
law school graduates but less than 20
percent of equity partners at big firms.
Drinker Biddle said its number of
women equity partners have bumped
up from 20 percent to 22 percent over
the past two years.
“We are in the business of talent,”
Kassner said. “It’s all about having
the best talent. And if you don’t have
enough women, you are missing half
the talent. Different people bring a dif-
ferent perspective, whether you are
talking about gender, race or some-
thing else. That’s why you need to
advance diversity.”
Heller said moving forward, he
would like to continue to develop
alternative sources of revenue while
maintaining the firm’s culture.
“I think the biggest headwind will
be for the legal industry in general and
that is that it is evolving and changing
quicker than many other industries
are,” Heller said. “So keeping up with
those changes will be critical.”
Heller joined Cozen O’Connor
from Wolf Block in 1995 as its first
business lawyer and became chair of
the business law department in 2007.
His practice includes representing
venture capital and emerging growth
clients. He was also a part-owner in
the Valley Forge Casino before it was
sold to Boyd Gaming for $280 million
in December.

ear the top of a May 11, 2007, prospectus
filed by the commercial mortgage division
of Wachovia Bank, photos of 666 Fifth Ave.
and Peter Cooper Village and Stuyvesant Town —
coveted real estate properties in New York — were
prominently displayed.
Both were part of 266 loans totaling $5.85 bil-
lion that Wachovia and two other financial firms
pooled together as commercial mortgage-backed
securities (CMBS) and then sold to investors. They
were among the biggest, most high-profile proper-
ties within the issuance, but there were also small-
er loans on lesser known buildings including a $35
million loan on 250 Gibralter Road in Horsham,
which is the headquarters for Toll Brothers Inc., and
a $36.1 million loan on 800 Delaware Ave., an office
building in the heart of Wilmington.
Another issuance by Wachovia in late 2007, this
one totaling $3.8 billion, included a $36 million loan
on the Barrington Business Center, a large industrial
complex in South Jersey. In a $1.6 billion CMBS issu-
ance made by Bank of America in December of that
year, a $28.8 million loan on 500 Virginia Drive, an
office building in Fort Washington, was included.
Aside from being issued in 2007, they represent
the bulk —18 out of 32 — of troubled loans on Phila-
delphia-area commercial real estate that are either
in foreclosure or have been taken back by the lend-
er when their owners reluctantly or voluntarily
moved on and gave back the keys. The other dis-
tressed loans were issued in varying years including
2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2013 and 2015.
These 18 properties are backed by loans total-
ing $310 million, of which a significant amount is
expected never to be recouped.
That was a busy year for loans to get securitized

the recession, were modified and that was the case for

By July 2017, the property
was 94 percent leased with rents at $3.65 a square

“We gave the property back five years ago,” said
Berndt Perl, a principle at APF. “The major reason
is Fort Washington and the area had flooding prob-
lems and though our property at 500 Virginia Drive
never flooded but because of negative publicity, the
leasing froze. From 2010, there was just nothing
happening. People were saying they didn’t want to

What’s your essential business
philosophy? I operate, and encourage
my employees to operate, with the
mantra: There is no time like the
present. Don’t delay or procrastinate.
Getting our job done in a timely and
efficient way establishes our credibility
with our funding partners.
What are the smartest and dumbest
business decisions you’ve made?
Smartest: Leaving the workforce in
1993 to pursue my graduate level
education.
Dumbest: I don’t regard any of the
decisions I have made in business as
“dumb.” Honestly!
What’s the best way to keep a
competitive edge? Separate trends
from reality. Don’t get caught up in
what is popular at the moment. This
will keep you ahead of the curve in the
long run. Use and trust accurate data to
help make decisions.
Is there a goal you have yet to achieve?
There are so many. Professionally, I
want to see the King of Prussia Rail
completed along with a number
SOCIAL CAPITAL
What’s your first choice for a new
career? If I were not doing what I do
now, I would want to buy and renovate
homes and apartments in college
towns.
What’s something about you that
people wouldn’t expect? I am an avid
music fan and play guitar.
Do you have an exercise routine? Yes.
I do yoga almost every morning, and
lately I’ve been meditating.
What car do you drive and why?
2014 Ford Edge Limited. It has a lot

reasonably priced.
