International Plaza, formerly known as Scott Plaza, is an office complex in Tinicum Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania.[1] It is the former corporate headquarters of the Scott Paper Company. The facility is next to the Philadelphia International Airport and south of Pennsylvania Route 291.[2]
History
Plaza I was completed in 1961. Plaza II was completed after 1961. Plaza III was completed in 1969.[2] At one time there were 1,200 Scott Paper employees working at the complex.
Albert J. Dunlap took control of Scott Paper in 1994. Shortly afterwards, he began to move the headquarters, and its employees, off of the premises. Shortly after the takeover, several hundred employees worked at the facility.[1] Scott Paper's headquarters moved to Boca Raton, Florida before the company was finally acquired by Kimberly Clark.[3]
After the headquarter's relocation, Koll Bren bought the complex for $39 million.[1] On December 30, 1997 the headquarters of Franklin Acceptance Corp. and ProCredit Inc. opened at International Plaza. The immediate parent company of both companies was Copelco Financial Services Group, with the ultimate parent company being Itochu.
