History
Provident Mutual Life Insurance Co was a former tenant of the building. In 1996 the New York-based real estate investment management firm Yarmouth Group oversaw a renovation for the new owners of the building, purchased two years before.[2]
PNC Bank formally moved its regional headquarters and PNC Asset Management Group national headquarters to the 1600 Market St building in 1997, occupying 15 floors.[3]
