Building Bok

Scout is the urban design and development practice currently leading the redevelopment of the iconic Bok building in South Philadelphia into a creative hub for innovators, artists, makers, entrepreneurs, community services. Today the 340,000 square foot building is filled with over 200 businesses and draws over 250,000 visitors annually to visit events, food & beverage options, and happenings within the building. BOK has many types of businesses — ranging from non-profits, bakeries and test kitchens, architects and lawyers, designers and photographers, artists and craftsmen and women, musicians, a hair salon, a preschool, and a community health clinic. We believe that small businesses, nonprofits, social service providers and artists deserve affordable workspace and flourish in a creative, supportive community.
