Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Commerce Square is a Class-A, high-rise office building complex in Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. Commerce Square consists of One and Two Commerce Square, two identical 41-story office towers 565 feet (172 m) high that surround a paved courtyard of 30,000 square feet (2,800 m2). Architecturally, the granite-clad towers feature setbacks on the north and south sides of the building and are topped with a pair of stone diamonds with cutout squares in the center. The towers were built as part an office-building boom Philadelphia was experiencing on West Market Street in the late 1980s. Designed by IM Pei & Partners (now called Pei Cobb Freed & Partners), the towers were developed in a joint venture between Maguire Thomas Partners and IBM. IBM also leased more than half of One Commerce Square for the company's Mid-Atlantic headquarters. Construction of the first phase, which included One Commerce Square, the plaza, and retail space, began in 1985 and was completed in 1987. The project's second phase, Two Commerce Square, did not begin until a lead tenant was secured for the building in 1990. Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail) agreed to be Two Commerce Square's lead tenant and make the skyscraper its corporate headquarters after a two-year search for office space in the region. Two Commerce Square ended the skyscraper construction boom of the 1980s when it was completed in 1992. No other office skyscraper was built in Philadelphia until Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE: BDN) built the Cira Centre in 2005.

Summary from Español / Spanish Wikipedia (eswiki)

Commerce Square es un complejo de edificios de oficinas de gran altura de clase A en el Centro de Filadelfia, en el estado de Pensilvania (Estados Unidos). Commerce Square consta de uno y dos Commerce Square, dos torres de oficinas idénticas de 41 pisos de 172 metros de altura que rodean un patio pavimentado de 2.800 m². Desde el punto de vista arquitectónico, las torres revestidas de granito presentan retranqueos en los lados norte y sur del edificio y están rematadas con un par de diamantes de piedra con cuadrados recortados en el centro. Las torres se construyeron como parte de un auge de edificios de oficinas que Filadelfia estaba experimentando en West Market Street a fines de la década de 1980. Diseñado por IM Pei & Partners (ahora Pei Cobb Freed & Partners), las torres se desarrollaron en una empresa conjunta entre Maguire Thomas Partners e IBM. IBM también alquiló más de la mitad de One Commerce Square para la sede central de la empresa en el Atlántico Medio. La construcción de la primera fase, que incluyó One Commerce Square, la plaza y el espacio comercial, comenzó en 1985 y se completó en 1987. La segunda fase del proyecto, Two Commerce Square, no comenzó hasta que se aseguró un inquilino principal para el edificio en 1990. Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail) acordó ser el inquilino principal de Two Commerce Square y convertir el rascacielos en su sede corporativa después de dos años de búsqueda de espacio para oficinas en la región. Two Commerce Square puso fin al auge de la construcción de rascacielos de la década de 1980 cuando se completó en 1992. No se construyó ningún otro rascacielos de oficinas en Filadelfia hasta que Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE: BDN) construyó el Cira Center en 2005.
