About Keystone Property Group (Landlord)
Company Vision
I.Location
Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania
B
ala Cynwyd, PA represents one of the
strongest submarkets in the entire
Philadelphia/Suburban marketplace due to its
convenient location as the “gateway” to the western
suburban market. Located directly off I-76 and City
Avenue (Route 1), it offers tremendous convenience
to employees living in the Philadelphia City limits,
Western Suburbs, and even South Jersey areas. The
historical strength of Bala Cynwyd is based on the
fact that this is the first suburban market outside
of the city. It has no city wage tax and offers an
excellent public transportation routes through
SEPTA bus stops, as well as train at Bala Avenue.
Bala Cynwyd holds an additional strength for it
maintains a significant number of New Jersey commuters that work for Bala Cynwyd companies. This has influence
on the market stability because relocation to a submarket west of Bala Cynwyd would result in the loss of certain New
Jersey based employees who will not travel the additional distance down I-76. The “New Jersey” effect helps stabilizes the
submarket.
Bala Cynwyd will continue to remain as one of the strongest suburban submarkets due to the fact it is an established
community of first class office buildings complimented by a strong residential area.
Public Transportation
Bala Cynwyd is served by SEPTA rail via the R-6 Train, which stops at the Cynwyd Station at Bala Avenue and
numerous SEPTA Bus Stops at City Avenue, Presidential Boulevard, Monument Road, St. Asaphs Road and Belmont
Avenue.

II.Renovation Overview
O
ne Presidential Boulevard will quickly become
one of Bala Cynwyd’s sought after corporate
locations. With its easy access to Center City and
surrounding retail and food establishments, One Presidential
Boulevard will be one of the Main Lines premier business
addresses. Under new ownership the building is going
through a total exterior and interior restoration to
distinguish it as the sleek high end corporate building of the
Main Line.
Keystone Property Group commissioned Thomas E. Hall
Architects to design the building exterior and Meyer Associates to conceptualize their vision for the building interior. The
first floor lobby and public spaces will undergo a large transformation.
One Presidential Blvd
Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania
The new light filled lobby will be entered through glass double doors to two types of imported white marble flooring
from Italy sprinkled with dark grey quartzite tiles. The focal point of the lobby will be a two story atrium, overlooked
from the second floor, with custom designed glass sculptural structure. The atrium will open up to the second floor
allowing natural light from adjacent windows to illuminate the space. To further accentuate the atrium the two story
focal wall is covered with glistening large dark quartzite tiles which reflect light from the full story windows and glass
sculpture. The surrounding walls will add contrast with rich dark mahogany panels and stainless steel insets. The space
will be highlighted with brilliant silver leafing applied to three ceiling soffits with new light fixtures throughout.
The design concept carries through the main lobby to the elevator lobby with lustrous wall covering, silver leafed ceiling
soffits and black polished mosaic wall tiles at the rest room vestibule.
The transformation continues into the main rest rooms with new oversize porcelain floor tile with black polished mosaic
wall tile at each entrance. The floor tile will carry throughout the rest rooms along with new white solid surface toilet
partitions, Kohler automatic plumbing fixtures, and white Zodiaq vanity with dark mahogany wall panels and custom
inset mirrors. The space will feel bright and airy with new overhead light fixtures along with sconces at mirrors.
Once on the second, third and fourth floors the elevator lobbies and common corridors continue the design with new
Karastan loop carpet, wall covering, ceiling tile, over head light fixtures and sconces. The elevators themselves will be
upgraded with new corrugated stainless steel panels, ceiling and lighting. The rest rooms will be transformed with new
porcelain floor tile, ceramic subway wall tile, Kohler automatic plumbing fixtures along with white Zodiaq vanity,
frameless glass mirrors, wall covering and light fixtures.
We look forward to the direct introduction of One Presidential Boulevard, Bala Cynwyd’s new landmark building.

VII.About Keystone Property Group (Landlord)
Company
K
eystone Property Group is a real estate investment and property development
firm located in Conshohocken, PA. Our Vision for Value drives our success.
What makes us unique is our ability to see opportunity – the opportunity to
create value through redevelopment, development, property management, and asset
management.
Whether redeveloping unique assets, or the ground up construction of new buildings,
we remain focused on our vision. Our vision is the blueprint for success. And we deem
any venture successful when our tenants are pleased, and our investors are rewarded.
What also makes us distinct in commercial real estate is our properties. KPG properties
are distinguished by enduring design-high ceilings, granite columns and flooring, seamless glass curtain walls, and
aluminum mullions. Our properties are refurbished with state-of-the-art wiring to enable all tenants to easily adapt to the
current advances in technology.
Vision
When we see a poorly designed and managed, technologically out-of-date building, we see something beautiful. We
see opportunity. The opportunity to create value by converting an underperforming asset into a profitable venture. The
opportunity to provide tenants with a pleasant, efficient work environment and responsive property management. The
opportunity to reward our investors and lenders with maximum return on capital.
Identifying these properties and repositioning them for today’s leading edge office users requires a special vision. To date,
Keystone has applied that vision with remarkable success to numerous landmark structures and to the new development
of office buildings throughout the tri-state region.
