History

Liberty Property Trust’s predecessor company, Rouse & Associates, was formed in 1972 by Willard G. Rouse III, George Congdon, David Hammers and Menard Doswell, to develop warehouse space in southern New Jersey. Rouse & Associates opened an office in Jacksonville, Florida two years later.

In 1974 Rouse & Associates purchased the Great Valley Corporate Center (GVCC) in Malvern, Pennsylvania. This property was the first office park to incorporate a graduate college, a business development and training center, and a day care center. GVCC has grown to include over four million square feet of office space, and remains a part of Liberty Property Trust's portofolio to this day.

Between 1974 and 1994, Rouse & Associates expanded into many new markets, including the Baltimore/Washington Corridor, the Lehigh Valley, the United Kingdom, and the Piedmont Triad. In 1987 Rouse & Associates opened One Liberty Place, the first skyscraper in Philadelphia to be taller than Philadelphia City Hall, and the tallest building in Pennsylvania from 1987-2007.

In 1994, Rouse & Associates becomes a real estate investment trust and changed its name to Liberty Property Trust. Rouse remained the chief executive officer of Liberty Property Trust until his death from cancer in 2003.

Liberty's most recent development is the Comcast Center in Philadelphia. At convert|975|ft|m|0, it will be Pennsylvania’s tallest building upon completion in 2007.
