Below are some photos from the demolition to remove two office buildings and a parking garage to make way for the redevelopment project SORA West. Once completed SORA West will include the corporate headquarters for AmerisourceBergen, a hotel, restaurant within the historic firehouse and a parking garage.

When the first phase of redevelopment in Conshohocken took place in the early to mid-1980s, this was the first office building constructed. Its address is One West 1st Avenue.
This is a view from West Elm Street (heading towards Fayette Street) of the second office building constructed with Conshohocken’s redevelopment. This building was constructed in 1985-86.
